\subsection{\textbf{Goal}
\\}

To develop innovative systems that support research and teaching in the humanities and arts. They strive to focus on alternative modes of creating, innovating, and critiquing that better address the interconnected, interactive global nature of knowledge. Their research 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. Research is peer-reviewed and reliant on good reputation  to ensure accountability and funding.\hypertarget{Role_of_HASTAC}{}
