How exciting to see this fantastic project by @docuracy.co.uk using/citing Adam Franklin-Lyons and Pavel Oleinikov's ODFMS-reviewed dataset from Digital Philology muse.jhu.edu/issue/56242. To read more about the Open Datasets For Medieval Studies data peer review project, see odfms.hcommons.org.

Sharing this in memory of Lynne Goldstein, a colleague whose mentorship shaped my career in many positive ways. Lynne had so many great stories that Autumn Painter and I recorded an oral history of her work with MSU's Campus Archaeology Program. oralhistory.campusarch.msu.edu

As always, 5calls.org made it simple to take some small action in the midst of [all this] by providing representatives' numbers and a script.

Thinking about attending the SCS in Boston? Love monks and Late Antiquity? Submit an abstract for this panel!

Just launched: Open Datasets For Medieval Studies, a new annual installment in Digital Philology: A Journal of Medieval Cultures (Johns Hopkins Press) wherein scholars peer review research datasets. Section co-edited by @lauramorreale.bsky.social @jwtorg.bsky.social & me. muse.jhu.edu/issue/56242.

Don't forget to nominate any #DH resources for DH Awards 2025 so they get on the ballot! Deadline coming up soon! dhawards.org/dhawards2025... The current distribution of votes per category is a tad uneven and you can probably guess which categories are which!

A reminder that the 5 calls app (or website) has all the contact info handy for calling reps, and even has scripts for specific issues.

Also I forgot to say that if you win an award to go to Kzoo, there will be a waiver for DMSI participation fee AND a subsidized registration fee for the Congress!

Nominations are open for DH Awards 2025. Anyone can nominate things that are #DigitalHumanities, available to voters, and updated in 2025. #DH Nominations close 2026-02-26 and the only way something gets on the ballot. You only need to nominate something once. dhawards.org/dhawards2025...

Happy new mayor day to all who celebrate!

+1 for Rhea being a great place to publish--humane, ethical, scholarly.

Info and registration at isaw.nyu.edu/events/open-... . Please share if you think someone who would be interested hasn't signed up. Thanks!

Here I am. Once again. I'm out of archaeologists. We matched 576 groups w/archaeologists, leaving 13 groups unmatched. This brings me pain! We've never run out of scientists like this before. 598 requests for one category is A LOT. But still. Archaeologists 🥺 www.skypeascientist.com/sign-up.html

Great new tool from Flickr foundation - the Data Lifeboat, to package up Flickr image collections and get them out of dodge quickly, with metadata and readmes. Speaking to urgency of portability of digital cultural heritage given current times. They need some testers to play and give feedback 👇

I don’t know why this zoom hack didn’t occur to me until now, but if you have an activity where you want students/colleagues to call on each other/go around the virtual room—e.g. when making introductions—have everyone raise their hand & then lower them when done—no guessing as to who hasn’t gone

Hey, kids. My eponymous #Archaeogaming book (2018) paperback is on sale for 50% off this week. I only need 12 more people to buy the book to crack 1,000 lifetime sales! www.berghahnbooks.com/title/Reinha...

DH colleagues, is there a version of the Student Collaborators' Bill of Rights from UCLA that's still available online? #digitalhumanities

Has anyone ever requested image licensing permission from the Istanbul Archaeological Museum and received this email? I'm a little hesitant to send in my personal info.

Hoping to see some familiar faces at #DH2025 next week.

NYC, we hope you made it to the poll this weekend 🗳️ But if you're holding off because you haven't figured out who you'd like to rank for mayor, check out our quiz. We asked the candidates where they stand on local issues. See which ones best align with your values. buff.ly/3CKtiMZ

Yes, indeed. #ThanksBrett and @neh-odh.bsky.social team members who have kept those of us in the field inspired, funded, and in community with one another.

For independent and contingent #AcRel scholars: Short-term visiting scholar program at Ohio State's Center for the Study of Religion. $3,000 stipend, lodging, travel, and meals for a week-long residency. Deadline: July 1, 2025

Many thanks for sharing this, @lollardfish.bsky.social. La sfera has something for everyone: Colorful maps! 5 different versions of the tower of Babel! Grouchy people influenced by the planets! Crafty merchants! Dragons, mermaids, sea monsters! We'd love to bring it to the public.

Two NEH sponsored institutes were so crucial to my education that I've used the training to teach hundreds of students over the last decade, and trained 1000s in critical thinking with digital technologies. NEH impacts go far beyond the researchers + initial audience. #LAWDI #MSUdai

are you a medievalist and a non-native english speaker looking to publish your first article in english? do you have an idea for an article in any field of premodern studies? you have until the end of march to apply to our mentorship programme 👇

It was so good to hear @sarahebond.bsky.social talk about Roman labor yesterday, and to catch up with @sebhth.bsky.social @paregorios.bsky.social and other ISAW folks. Looking forward to digging into _Strike!_ over spring break. yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...

Publication news! 🎉 Ancient Pasts for Modern Audiences is NOW AVAILABLE for everybody to read! We are so excited to share this work with you all: www.routledge.com/Ancient-Past... 🎉 Cover art by the wonderful @flaroh.bsky.social!

As usual, thanks to the WKCR reporters. www.cc-seas.columbia.edu/wkcr/

Dystopian, in so many ways.

I'm one of the co-chairs of #ACH2025 this year (with @alexwermercolan.bsky.social), and I'm really pleased with what we've come up with. Notably, we're looking for creative proposals that don't easily fit the usual paper/panel/poster format. I'm excited to see what folks come up with!

Last call! Sat March 8th in Sarasota @lauramorreale.bsky.social and I will be offering a PD teacher workshop on pre-modern maps and mapping, based on our NEH-funded work on the #sferaproject. Pls see details tinyurl.com/sferamar25 — we have extended the sign-up deadline to Wed March 5th.

Apropos of nothing, here's some posters I made for outside my office in case anyone wants them. Text on one edited from @blacktrowel.bsky.social, the other from an Eco article (both cited of course). If you'd like the PDF files, just email me. #antifascist #AncientBluesky 🏺

Looks like AHPP is back up and running. This is good news for art history instructors looking to share their work.

Knowledge Commons Works is also ready to help however we can. works.hcommons.org

This is an excellent read. "Don’t let algorithms or billionaires (yes, Elon, I’m side-eyeing you) hijack your focus. Master the techniques you care about. Read papers that ignite your curiosity. Your work is your rebellion."

Just a reminder that my @cambridgeup.bsky.social Element, “The Author in Early Christian Literature,” is still free and open-access for the next two weeks! Go download it while you can: doi.org/10.1017/9781... 🏺 #ClassicsSky #AncientSky

Writing a paper on big archaeological data and I'm looking for examples of archaeological sites which have complex databases (published) of all excavated information (features, finds, artefacts, ecofacts, environmental archaeology, geophysics, lidar, you name it ...). Thanks! 🏺

One of the websites that does seem to still work is the one that lets you "Find and contact elected officials" based on your address. Federal, State, and Local (with handy phone numbers). www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

I've seen some apologetic announcements lately, people sheepish about sharing during this increasingly off-the-rails Worst Timeline. But here's the thing: we NEED your art/books/poems/talks/knitting/cat pics. Keep 'em coming! It's a long road and we need all the creative camaraderie we can get.

We researchers must stay in the game re: climate—the longue durée laying a foundation for better times. Pictured: my 9 million post-its as I devoured @vickyausten.bsky.social ‘s environmental humanities book for @rheaclassical.bsky.social. Much to dig into! rheaclassicalreviews.com/2025/01/30/m...

At this year's annual meeting of the @archaeologyaia.bsky.social, Danielle J. Riebe from the Uni of Georgia has received the Best Poster Award for a poster featuring a restoration and conservation project in Hungary. We are proud to be part of this project and congratulate Danielle on the award! 🏺
