Murray & Keelung Hong Special Collections at this event!

Throughout history, humans have been finding ways to revive, rebirth, and reconstruct their favorite artistic practices. Music has been one of the greatest playgrounds for these types of explorations. In acts that both pay homage to the past and push the craft forward, renaissances have revolved around time periods, genres, and even mediums. Join us for an interactive listening party where we take a closer look at some iconic musical revivals, ask how we got here, and wonder where we might go next.

Curated and hosted by: Lilly Korkontzelos, MSU Music Library Student Assistant and master’s student in Music Theory

Location: Music Library (4th Floor West)

Kick off Spartan football season with a talk and book signing by Dr. David Kaufman, author of We Need You in the Locker Room, which provides a fascinating, unique, and immensely readable perspective on a game we only think we know.  A page-turner about a championship season, this book is also a smart, sensitive argument for how football can be preserved.



Dr. Kaufman served as the on-field embedded neurologist for the Michigan State University football team for 13 years. Dr. Kaufman currently serves as the Assistant Vice President of Clinical Affairs, he is a tenured Professor and Founding Chair of the Department of Neurology and Ophthalmology at MSU.



"Kaufman's perspective as a neurologist assigned to the Michigan State Spartans football team makes him an intimate witness to both the drama, teamwork, and courage of young athletes-and the toll this violent game exacts on their bodies.” Samuel G. Freedman



Copies of Dr. Kaufman’s book will be available for purchase and signing, with all proceeds going directly to the following two charitable funds:

· The Father John (Jake) Foglio Endowed Chair of Spirituality in the MSU College of Arts & Letters

· The George Webster Memorial Scholarship in MSU Athletics

What is THATCamp?

THATCamp stands for “The Humanities and Technology Camp.” It is an unconference: an open, less formal meeting where humanists and technologists of all skill levels learn and build together in sessions proposed on the spot (From: http://thatcamp.org/about).

Who is THATCamp for?

This day-long, in person, fun, unconference is a fantastic opportunity for people on campus, whether formally a part of the DH@MSU community or not, to gather, learn from each other, and make connections to carry forward into the academic year. We welcome:


Members of the DH@MSU community, old and new
Students in the Digital Humanities undergraduate minor or graduate certificate, and students interested in the minor/certificate
Humanists who are engaged in digital and computer-assisted research, teaching, and creation
Anyone doing or interested in exploring work in the digital, especially (but not exclusively) in the areas of arts, humanities, and social sciences


Why THATCamp MSU?

DH@MSU is continuing our annual THATCamp each August targeted at MSU faculty, staff, and students for a few reasons:


To bring people back together after the summer
To introduce new folks to the DH@MSU community
Share knowledge, expertise, and skills among the community
Build connections between community members for future collaborations, troubleshooting, and ice cream social time.


THATCamp is FREE! Please register here.
