I've read enough of The Ends of Knowledge (ed @SethRudy & Rachael Scarborough King) to recommend it to people in #DH, literary studies, and #18thC. Not just "interdisciplinary," it aims to produce a Diderot/d'Alembert scale overview! I found Mark A-H's chapter on DH esp. illuminating. https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/ends-of-knowledge-9781350242302/
Does anyone have any favorite blog posts/short articles on writing documentation? Extra points for ones about documenting metadata schemes or writing documentation in a GLAM-context! A lot of what I've found has been too specific to documenting code or it is documenting projects using very basic metadata. #documentation#metadata#libraries#archives#GLAM#DH
There are two (permanent) lectureships being recruited in the School of Modern Languages at the University of St Andrews. Consider joining us in a beautiful part of Scotland! Deadline: Aug 16!
"Candidates’ area of academic expertise must include at least one of the languages taught in the School (Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Persian, Russian, and Spanish)."
I've been in touch with the folks at Native-Land.ca to see about adding India's indigenous (Adivasi) communities to their project. They already have great coverage of North America and Australia (and now Taiwan!).
It's going to be hard -- the Indian government keeps good census data, but not GIS maps that I know of. To help facilitate it, I put together a primer for them with links to some existing resources:
Hello Mastodon World #Introduction!

I work at intersections of people, heritage, tech, & research, love to help folks use data systems more humanely, openly, & equitably
Schaut, schaut ein Belegexemplar von @GRK2571 für #DHinaMug ! 🙏
Dieses Graduiertenkolleg hat übrigens nicht nur coole Tassen, sondern mit Imperien ein ziemlich spannendes Forschungsthema! Also schnell folgen und mal auf der Webseite umschschauen: https://www.grk2571.uni-freiburg.de/
@dhinamug Vielen Dank für den Shout-Out. 😅 Damit haben es zumindest unsere Merch Tassen schon in die DH-Hall of Fame geschafft. 😀
Aber auch unsere Promovierenden sind in ihrer Forschung zu @empires sehr darauf konzentriert #digitalhumanities für ihre Projekte nutzbar zu machen. Etwa @SchnDa in ihrer Untersuchung zur Zensur chinesischsprachiger Zeitungen im Britischen #hongkong.
Ok finally career #introduction time!
I am a #DH#earlymodern Historian with preference of English and Irish History. I have specialized in the London Bills of Mortality on Death By Numbers. So basically I love medicine, death, and plague of early modern.
I received my MA from GMU, and worked with the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media (RRCHNM) where I discovered my love for mixing tech and history. I am post grad at a local library while I figure out what to research
Struggling with the right search tools, confs, and wording - Looking for anyone with a good classifier to detect setting descriptions in fiction. Anyone in #DH#NLP know?
Today's the last day to register for #ACH2023, which starts on Thursday. Don't miss 3 incredible days of presentations, connection, and community, including our opening keynote conversation on Accessibility and Digital Scholarship! https://ach2023.ach.org/en/
Excited to present "An Exploratory Tour of Thomas Gray's English poems"—our first experiment with the @VoyantTools#Spyral notebook environment that combines writing, code, and data:
Super stoked that Lower Hutt local Erice Van Leuven won her 1st MTB DH world cup race yesterday!
It's her 1st race in the Junior world cup and she won!
Her time would have qualified her in 12th place in Elite.
Pretty disappointing that once again NZ media is tumbleweeds when A Kiwi wins a MTB world cup.... and to have done so in her very 1st race at that level! #MTB#DH#WorldCup#Lenzerheide
The #ACH2023 program is HERE! We look forward to seeing you virtually June 29-July 1 for three days of conversation, community, and digital humanities scholarship.
The abbreviated schedule is available at https://ach2023.ach.org/en/program/. Registered attendees can access the full and schedule via ConfTool.
Hi #DH people. Does anyone know if any of the web recorder tools have an option to pull in more than just the visible map tiles on e.g. Leaflet? I don't care if the .wacz is huge. I know I can do it on webrecorder by just zooming around methodically while recording, but none of the automated tools seem to give that option. #DigitalHumanies@dh@digitalhumanities
Listening to Michaela Mahlberg interview @heuser. His description of "building as knowing" (3:30) put into words what bothers me so much about Copilot and other automated programming tools:
"If you have to build some process or algorithm it forces your mind to think about what literature, what cultural forms are really doing."
This is why I enjoy coding. Every program I write, I learn something - about history, students, or formalization or categorization themselves!
@heuser Writing an article or anything else is a similar form of building-as-knowing. By using programs like Copilot and ChatGPT, we deprive ourselves of the knowledge we would learn from the creative process.
On top of that, we are allowing Microsoft to use our interactions as training data. So we are actually giving the benefits of the creative process to some of the wealthiest people on the planet. #dh
Wir suchen Verstärkung fürs fortext lab! Konkret: jemanden mit soliden Pythonkenntnissen und Interesse an Ontologien – für unser KatKit-Projekt, idealerweise über die ausgeschriebene Zeit hinaus. Mehr Infos hier: https://bit.ly/41Fg5Ov#DigitalHumanities#DH
