This annual, one-day meeting brings together nationally recognized scholars and religion teachers from around North America to make contacts and hear about new developments in the study of the major religious traditions of the world. Scholars will share their latest research, and school teachers will share information about projects they are working on and classroom activities.

"Artificial Intelligence" is only the most recent (and most disruptive) example of digital technology that has and will transform how religious communities function. Digital technology has also changed how scholars teach and conduct research on religion. If you are interested in how technology is changing and will change our work, we invite you to THATCamp.
THATCamp is an unconference. This means learning and building occurs in hands-on workshops proposed by participants rather than formal presentations. Topics could include how to use AI in research or the classroom, digital research methods, web-based class assignments, etc. What are the implications of technology on our fields? How does digital scholarship fit into our domain of study? What are its professional implications? THATCamp is an open, welcoming environment for sharing and learning.
The cost for attending the unconference is $15, which includes the entire day of sessions and a coffee break.
