HASTAC (Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Advanced Collaboratory)
The Society participates in the HASTAC consortium of humanists, artists, scientists, and engineers from leading nonprofit research institutions. Cornell is home to eleven HASTAC (Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Advanced Collaboratory) Scholars. HASTAC Scholars are students, both graduate and undergraduate, working across the areas of technology, the arts, the humanities, and the social sciences. They are the “eyes and ears” of HASTAC, “citizen journalists” engaged in participatory learning and experts on all matters digital.
