HASTAC SCHOLARS PROGRAM WELCOMES NOMINATIONS FOR 2009-2010
The HASTAC Scholars fellowship program recognizes graduate and undergraduate students who are engaged in innovative work across the areas of technology, the arts, the humanities, and the social sciences. The HASTAC Scholars act as the eyes and ears of HASTAC’s virtual network. In the wake of the crisis facing traditional news media, the HASTAC Scholars are Citizen Journalists exploring the next-generation possibilities for intellectual dialogue imaginable through digital technology. The HASTAC Scholars report on the work happening on their campuses and in their region to an international audience by blogging, tweeting, vlogging, podcasting and other forms of networking with the online HASTAC community and with their local communities. The Scholars also facilitate a series of discussion forums on www.hastac.org. Open to all, these expansive forums initiate rich insights and meaty exchanges on timely issues related to digital media and learning and the digital humanities more broadly. See www.hastac.org/scholars for more about the program.
