HASTAC graduate student scholarship granted to Erasmus Studio PhD student

HASTAC ("haystack") is a network of individuals and institutions inspired by the possibilities that new technologies offer us for shaping how we learn, teach, communicate, create, and organize our local and global communities. We are motivated by the conviction that the digital era provides rich opportunities for informal and formal learning and for collaborative, networked research that extends across traditional disciplines, across the boundaries of academe and community, across the "two cultures" of humanism and technology, across the divide of thinking versus making, and across social strata and national borders. HASTAC is dedicated to the creative development and use of new technologies for learning and research, while also seeking to understand these technologies’ potentials and limitations.

Wolfgang, a Erasmus Studio PhD student, was selected as a HASTAC Scholar because of his knowledge and ability to express ideas to a larger community.His primary role is that of a “Citizen Scholar” or “Public Intellectual”, making available online and to anyone who comes to the HASTAC website his ideas, research, and the projects and programs of his home institution.
