One year after our call for participation at THATCamp 2010, we are pleased to announce the table of contents of Hacking the Academy, The Edited Volume. The contributions listed below will appear both online at a new open access website being developed by MPublishing and in print under the University of Michigan Press digitalculturebooks imprint. We will be contacting authors with permission requests for the print volume, but we also ask that everyone listed here release their original contribution under a CC-BY license to clear rights for the new website. (If you’re listed in the table of contents, please @-reply @Mdigitalculture on Twitter: “I license my work under CC-BY” and please add this license wherever your original piece appeared so we can move quickly forward. Thanks.)

We want to extend our sincere thanks to the nearly two hundred scholars who participated in this experiment. We apologize that we weren’t able to include everyone’s work in the print volume. Even those of you whose work is included may find it considerably abbreviated. These hard editorial choices reflect the constraints of space and the requirements of coverage and coherence we placed upon ourselves, not a lack of quality. Every contribution remains available on the main Hacking the Academy website.

The hard work of giving every contribution its due, editing and combining more than fifty independently authored pieces of all lengths and styles into a single, coherent, readable volume, and navigating the uncharted legal waters that a work like this presents took longer than we had wanted. We appreciate your patience and hope that the work we have done will make for smoother sailing for anyone crazy enough to try something like this in the future.

Thank you.

Tom and Dan
