Great presentation at USIH 2025 last week! Proud of our team of graduate and undergraduate students (London Hawes, Maxine Levanduski, Brandon Bell and Katherine Dyal) collaborating with @leadr.bsky.social to build the H-Net Spaces Radical Historians Newsletter digitization project (coming soon!)

In our quest to demystify scholarly publishing, #FeedingTheElephant invited @leekinginc.bsky.social to explain "Everything You Never Wanted to Know About Book Distribution, but Were Afraid to Ask." How does your book make it onto shelves and into readers' hands? networks.h-net.org/group/discus...

The academic job market is tough, and that offers incredible opportunity. H-Net's widely diverse, international membership are highly trained critical thinkers with expertly honed writing, public speaking, and problem solving skills. Access them directly at the H-Net Job Guide: jobs.h-net.org

You might be aware of the threatened closure of Bucknell University Press, but did you know BUP trained countless interns? #FeedingTheElephant shares stories from former interns on how closing the press would negatively impact undergrad and grad students. ➡️ networks.h-net.org/group/discus...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Friends don't let friends use academia dot edu. kfitz.info/academia-not...

Have a southern Italian themed call for papers to share? Send it to us on H-Net to see it posted: networks.h-net.org/h-sicily

H-Net Journals is pleased to announce that its newest journal, Ecokritike, has a new issue available. Check out the ToC and full issue: journals.h-net.org/ecokritike/i...

Really good read. www.wired.com/story/silico...

This is a great opportunity! H-Net has collaborated to promote these fellowships for the past few years. For those interested in digital scholarship we highly recommend checking it out.

H-Net’s mission is the open dissemination of knowledge, so we are excited to announce the launch of Ecokritike, an international, open access, blind and double peer-review journal for academics and researchers who study the fields of Environmental Humanities, Literary Theory and Cultural Criticism.

I've been away on vacation with family so missed the opportunity to share the registration reminder... BUT IF YOU ARE REGISTERED!!! Check out the Strategies for Responsible AI in the Classroom roundtable I'm taking part in on Tuesday!

The Cubs winning the World Series in 2016 definitely opened up a portal to a horrific timeline that can probably only be closed by the Cubs winning the World Series again.

Join us for another fantastic virtual conference featuring really great panels from scholars focused on transformative work in the classroom.

In March, H-Net cosigned a joint statement by the AHA/OAH condemning recent efforts to censor historical content on federal government websites, at many public museums, and across a wide swath of government resources. 1/

A New Job Guide Experience Today we’re proud to roll out the all-new H-Net Job Guide! We spent the last year working to integrate the Job Guide into the H-Net Commons platform with the following new features: 1/ #academicsky #jobs @h-net-humanities.bsky.social

We often miss the transformative power available in something as simple as "staying open." I took this photo of Telescope Peak in California from the middle of Badwater Basin in Death Valley. It's a stunning photo that, if we look for it, communicates more than the overwhelming beauty of nature. 1/

This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

As a Chicago-area native and a child of the 80s, this hits all the right notes.

God speed you beautiful people!

here's how i want government and taxes to work: collect money in an organized and equitable fashion and redistribute it to best maximize local and global impact of people who need it most and services that benefit everyone

🚨PSA for anyone using GPT in human subjects research🚨 A judge has ruled that OpenAI must retain ChatGPT and API data indefinitely, with few exceptions. This might have implications for your IRB compliance and the security of your participants' data. 1/

Please share. Saturday night, at 7, CNN will be doing a live broadcast of the Broadway play "Good Night, & Good Luck", starring George Clooney, about Edward R. Murrow.

What if mad cow, but for the internet.

"it's on them to show their work" Yes. Stop just reprinting the data-less assertions of these guys!

Something something Marx... something something alienation from labor... But you know, Marx is bad and stuff.

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, then you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime.

Voluntary surveillance, oh good.

This has been intermittently the case with H-Net services as well. Those AI bots are relentless.

❤️❤️❤️ Three cheers for the liberal arts!!!

"There is an inevitability narrative that we hear from the tech companies - and that is a bid to take our agency" @alexhanna.bsky.social @emilybender.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

And then there’s the question of the larger labor force impact. 🧵

In education for example, are students typically great at reading/understanding terms of use? If we must incorporate this technology in our pedagogy we need to train them to think about why or why not it’s useful and how to understand these risks in the outputs they receive. And so much more…

Looking forward to this from @emilymbender.bsky.social and @alexhanna.bsky.social As #AI is increasingly incorporated into #highered I consider myself skeptically pragmatic. I don’t think it’s a good idea, but here we are. Hoping this offers insight to fuel a more critically minded approach.

"We need people who majored in history."

Nearly every higher ed-related provision in the House’s proposed reconciliation bill will make higher ed more expensive for students. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

Regardless of whether you’re pro AI or not, particularly in academia, this should give us serious pause. Banning regulations of any kind at this point in the technology’s development is foolish at best.

Truth meets fiction...

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month, and we will share our #ResearchSpotlights around this theme. Stay tuned as we amplify deposits made to KC Works that reflect people's efforts to highlight different mental health problems across various age groups, environments, and cultures 🧠 ❤️‍🩹

This is such an amazing opportunity for SHEARites looking for feedback on how to turn their conference papers into published articles

UPDATE: We have data on >1000 terminated #NSF grants at grant-watch.us. Thanks to all who have been contributing data the past few days. We've also added a "Reports" section with some analyses. For NSF, we see that the STEM education directorate has been absolutely pummeled.
