The ISDT Experience and History: Gary Chapman International School on Digital Transformation

Report on the activities of the Gary Chapman International School on Digital Transformation (ISDT) held in Porto, Portugal each summer from 2009-2011. ISDT was a project of the UT Austin|Portugal Program (CoLab). It was an immersive residential school that brought together emerging and established scholars, entrepreneurs, social activists, and other professionals to explore ideas about new technologies useful for civil society. In 2011 ISDT was renamed to honor the memory of its founder, Gary Chapman, an educator, researcher, and activist on the faculty of the LBJ School of Public Affairs at UT Austin.
