HASTAC

HASTAC is the Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Advanced Collaboratory. A consortium of over 70 public and private research institutes across the human and computer sciences, HASTAC was founded in 2003 by UCHRI Director David Theo Goldberg and Duke Professor and former Vice Provost for Interdisciplinary Studies Cathy Davidson to strengthen and expand participation in cyberinfrastructure among the HASS (Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences) disciplines.

HASTAC partners have been developing tools for multimedia archiving and social interaction, gaming environments for teaching, innovative educational programs in information science and information studies, virtual museums, and other digital projects. HASTAC's aim is to promote expansive models for thinking, teaching, and research.
