I’m delighted to announce MITH as an official sponsor of the January 2012 THATCamp Games<\/a>, a themed humanities and technology unconference covering the research, teaching, and playing of games of all kinds (read more about the idea of the unconference here<\/a>). The focus of THATCamp Games is “hack over yack” (!); we hope you’ll leave the unconference knowing how to do something new. To ensure that happens, we encourage all unconference-goers to attend our full day of basic- and advanced-track Bootcamp workshops<\/a>, including Darius Kazemi on making HTML5 games, Matt Kirschenbaum on learning game design from war games and conflict simulations, Todd Bryant on modding Civilization IV<\/em>, and workshops on educational ARGs\/RPGs from research teams at both the University of Maryland<\/a> and University of Connecticut.<\/p>\n

You can’t have a good games conference without games, so we’ll be running a conference-long ARG, a games lounge\/lab where you can take a break and play games with fellow attendees, and a Sunday games design jam where you can show off your latest games work. Following the Bootcamp workshops, MITH will host a reception where you can tour the DH center, hear about UMD’s gaming research, and play games on some of our platforms old and new.<\/p>\n

We welcome everyone to apply, whether you’re a seasoned gamer or “n00b”; undergrad, tenured professor, or alternative academic. Applications<\/a> are open now through 10\/31, and the unconference will take place January 20th to 22nd at the University of Maryland<\/a> in College Park. The event is co-organized by MITH Webmaster and Literature Ph.D. student Amanda Visconti<\/a> (@literature_geek<\/a>) and University of Baltimore Assistant Professor Anastasia Salter<\/a> (@AnaSalter<\/a>).<\/p>\n
