Matt Villeneuve: 2010-2011 HASTAC scholar

UO undergraduate Matthew Villeneuve  has been appointed a 2010-2011 HASTAC scholar. HASTAC  Scholars blog about their department/institution, share their own work and the work of their colleagues, participate in the forums, write reviews and interviews, and help build HASTAC’s national community of digital scholars.
