Dear SIGCIS Members,
Please join us this week for SIGCIS
2023: Online Edition 2.0! This year the SIGCIS conference will take place September
21-23, 2023 over Zoom.
We have a dynamic program featuring leading scholars of computing history, capped by a keynote on Friday with Tung-Hui
Hu, Associate Professor of English at the University of Michigan and author of
Digital Lethargy: Dispatches from an Age of Disconnection (2022) and A Prehistory of the Cloud (2015). The
schedule is online here.
The cost of registration is
on a suggested donation/pay-what-you-can basis and does not require membership and registration for our parent conference (SHOT) in November. We offer suggested rates for academic and non-academic participants, and trust you to select the conference fee rate
that makes sense for your context, especially for scholars with limited means and limited access to research or reimbursement funds. Please pay what you can to support SIGCIS.
SUGGESTED CONFERENCE RATES:
Senior Faculty or Working Professional: $60
Junior Faculty: $40
VAPs, Post-Docs, or Other Contingent Roles: $20
Precariously Employed Individuals, Adjuncts, Graduate Students: $0-$5**
**Please Note: Eventbrite does not permit $0 donations. If you would like to register without having to pay, please email the SIGCIS Meetings Organizing Committee at sigcis2023@morganya.org and
we would be happy to register you for no cost.
