Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)
"Digital technolgy and social media has not only transformed how religoius communities function, it has also changed how scholar teach about and conduct research on religion more broadly. If you are interested in how technology is changing -- or can change -- our work, then we invite you to attend THATCamp.
THATCamp is an unconference. This means learning and building occurs in hands-on workshops proposed by participants rather than in formal presentations. Topic could include artificial intelligence, new ways to analyze texts with Python, how to access and process social media posts, new examples / resources about religion, and many others. Have you found a clever use for technology? Come and share your experiences. How does digital scholarship fit into higher education? THATCamp is an open, welcoming environment for sharing and learning.
The cost of attending the unconference is $15, which includes an entire day of sessions and a coffee break."
