<\/a>by derek bruff, cft director<\/em><\/p>\n last month here on the blog, we shared a call for applications<\/a> from graduate students to be hastac scholars. hastac (pronounced “haystack”) is the humanities, arts, science, and technology advanced collaboratory<\/a>, a global network of academics exploring ways that technology can enhance teaching, research, and scholarship. hastac scholars<\/a> is a professional development program for graduate students, in which students engage in online and in-person conversations about technology’s role in their scholarly work. it’s a fantastic networking opportunity, particularly for humanities graduate students interested in technology, and the deadline to apply to be a 2013-14 vanderbilt hastac scholar has just been extended to july 29th.<\/p>\n last year the cft sponsored history doctoral student zoe leblanc as a hastac scholar. she found the experience incredibly valuable as she explored ways to integrate technology in her teaching and research. by connecting with the digital humanities community through the hastac website, twitter, and the hastac annual conference, zoe is far savvier about the digital humanities than most graduate students–and many faculty! you can get a sense of some of what she’s learned by reading her hastac blog posts<\/a> or following her on twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n we’re sponsoring a hastac scholar again this year, and we’re not alone. the center for second language studies (csls); the curb center for art, enterprise, and public policy; the robert penn warren center for the humanities; and the brand-new vanderbilt institute for digital learning (vidl) are all sponsoring scholars next year. each scholar will receive a $500 award as well as funding to attend the annual hastac conference in 2014. if you’re a graduate student in the humanities (or social sciences–we’re flexible) with an interest in technology, take a look at the call for applications below. and if you have a particular interest in educational technologies, consider identifying the cft or vidl as your preferred sponsoring center. again, it’s a great professional development opportunity. if you have any questions about the program, please contact me<\/a>.<\/p>\n unique opportunities for graduate students in digital humanities<\/strong><\/p>\n 瑞士vs喀麦隆走地\u2019s 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分, center for second

scholars. the appointment includes a $500 award as well as funding to attend the annual hastac conference in 2014.<\/em> these scholars will serve as vanderbilt\u2019s digital ambassadors to
