In looking back over a year at HASTAC and looking ahead to 2024, I was again inspired by this wonderful reflection on the HASTAC 2023 International conference hosted in May 2023 by Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.

The annual conference was hosted by Pratt for the first time, and featured sessions that generated fresh collaborations and encouraged participants to think deeply about how things, relationships, and ideas are made and embedded in society.
