Digital Humanities Un-College
A ‘pop-up’ Open Platform For IRL Community Liberal Arts Learning On Tech & Society during the Gathering of Village season October-November 2023.
Welcome To Digital Humanities Un-College
The Digital Humanities Un-College (or the Un-College for short) is an initiative by digi-cnx and collaborators to offer nomads and Chiang Mai residents the chance to join or lead college-style learning activities on topics of their interest, under the broad umbrella of the ‘digital humanities’ (technology, society, history, innovation, the cosmo-local, policy, ethics, and more!).

What is an Un-College?
Agenda Created By Attendees
An open agenda or curriculum to which anyone can propose, lead, and join sessions.
Loose Set of Resources Provided
A loose set of resources to facilitate coordination and meetings are provided by event facilitators for attendees (e.g., time slots for scheduling and suitable types of meeting spaces)
Culture of Openness
The un-college fosters a culture of openness to discussion, suggestions, and creation.
An un-college is a learner-driven gathering in similar spirit to an unconference, but with a focus on college-type learning activities (e.g., reading groups, seminars, workshops, projects) and a longer timescale vs. a typical meeting or conference (e.g., days or weeks vs. hour or days), which facilitates greater depth of thought, learning, inquiry, and discussion.
