Thanks @mwmemorieschild.bsky.social for sharing dinner and conversation at #ldml_25 . Fascinating to hear about your fandom research & looking forward to more news from Synthetic Pasts!

Another week another conference but this time I'm in Brighton for #ldml_25. I'm not presenting this time, though I am looking for GLAM sector professionals to user test the resource we've been creating on the Synthethic Pasts research project. Already been to some great sessions.

I’m not sure I got everyone’s name around the table in the lightning round of introductions but the hackathon included Douglas Kelly UnusualTechnologies, Simon Wilkinson @brightblack-arts.bsky.social Dan Tucker East City Films, @cjceglio.bsky.social Alexander Dohr #LastSeen, Kate Marrison and more!

So billionaire plutocrat Jeff Bezos who destroyed @washingtonpost.com and has been protested non stop by the people of Venice, a city he is trying to buy for his destination wedding, is selling my book on Kindle #theslavescause for 2.99 this summer. A deal is a deal! www.amazon.com/Slaves-Cause...

Projects exhibiting for the entire Expo include: @dachaumemorial.bsky.social 360 app, @ravensbrueck-sbg.bsky.social, TikTok Shoah Initiative, Suspicious – A Landscape of Crimes from @arolsenarchives.bsky.social + @buchenwald-dora.bsky.social, Terraforming's Ester digital graphic novel #ldml_25

With each new highlight from the upcoming #ldml_25 conference shared by @ldml.bsky.social I am already sad that I can't be in all simultaneous sessions at once! So many fascinating digital Holocaust memory projects, so much research. Grateful to be attending. Looking forward to learning & connecting

😳😃I won A Thing! #ldml_25 I won a competition @ldml.bsky.social for the Connective Holocaust Commemoration Expo. It means I get a session with creative & tech professionals towards my dream project - a VR model of Kitchener refugee camp. Absolutely stunned - I never win anything! Thank you 🤩

Connective Holocaust Commemoration Expo Can't attend in person? Watch keynotes & roundtables online. Further info 👇🏻 www.digitalmemorylab.com/events/ #ldml_25 This won’t include my showcase on the Kitchener rescue, but I hope to arrange to repeat the talk in the autumn, so watch this space.

The range and scope of presentations, workshops, and screenings at the Connective Holocaust Commemoration Expo sound incredible. Really looking forward to attending. It’s all getting quite exciting! #ldml

The 'AI hype' has arrived in Holocaust memory circles. Is it going to transform the future of our work? Should we be sceptical? This excellent panel brings together diverse expertise from across disciplines to examine the possibilities of an AI-shaped Holocaust memoryscape. #ldml_25 #AI

This web-based #VR experience exploring the events of #Kristallnacht through Dr. Charlotte Knobloch's testimony, which brought together the @claims-conference.bsky.social, @uscshoahfoundation.bsky.social, @unesco.org, Meta, and #XR company makemepulse, will be presented at our Expo. #ldml_25

Can't travel to UK for #ldml_25? Tune in online 👇🏼

The #ldml_25 is bringing together an amazing array of digital Holocaust memory projects and researchers 👇🏼 to examine the state of the field, ethical dimensions of our work, issues of assessment, and other critical questions. Looking forward to sharing our work & learning from colleagues.

The clear sign that it's going to be my kind of day!

Thrilled to be at Gesellschafts und Wirtschaftsmuseum for my research project. 4+ hours yesterday taking in exhibits, spatial design, etc. Today interview w/ staff re: programming, future plans & how they see contemporary practice in relation to institution's history

We extended the deadline 🗓️ for our funded data art call by a week—short proposals are now due **Fri 5/23**. Open to folks beyond UVA! (Don't forget you can use the email in the post to let us know if you want to chat about your idea before submitting!): scholarslab.lib.virginia.edu/blog/scholar...

My colleague @cjceglio.bsky.social recently appeared on the #collegeartassociation podcast to talk about the amazing work of her students in her “Collaborating with Cultural Organizations” course. soundcloud.com/user-7659775...

I ran grant programs at @nehgov.bsky.social for over a decade. With colleagues, oversaw review of thousands of grant applications. Witnessed care & thoughtfulness of hundreds of reviewers. This statement is insulting to all of them. Whoever wrote it should be ashamed. www.neh.gov/news/update-...

Many contingent historians working inside academia depend on federal funding to support their work, both individually and in collaboration. NOW WHAT? @contingent-mag.bsky.social is now accepting pitches, until April 27, for our latest series, The Losses. contingentmagazine.org/call-for-pit...

Fortunate to be part of many great teams @uconn.bsky.social but closest to my ❤️ is Greenhouse Studios. These are the people whose energy, creativity & compassion fuel my own. Go Team! 🎉✨💫💥🔥🎊

Yesterday's Catholic history pilgrimage took me to St. Andre Bessette, who is entombed at L'Oratoire Saint‐Joseph du Mont‐Royal. Fun fact for this @uconn.bsky.social attendee of 2025 @ncph.bsky.social conference? In his youth, St. Andre worked in a textile mill in Moosup, CT!

Also 2 days, 2 saints. Today: St. Marguerite Bourgeoy, who is entombed at Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours , which has inactive archaeological site underneath revealing the earlier chapel structures that stood on the site since 1678. Pre @ncph.bsky.social conference wanderings

1 day, 3 #museums ... because that's how we roll while waiting for @ncph.bsky.social conference to begin.

New! @jenguiliano.bsky.social and I are please to share the February issue of #ReviewsInDH, “Mapping Black Radical Joy” from African and African Diaspora topic editors Cherice Escobar Jones and Tinashe Mushakavanhu. reviewsindh.pubpub.org/v6-n2

#publichistory #fargo #history #Northdakota #minesota The film I produced with my Digital History Class last semester was covered in local media yesterday. "Glacier, Prairie, Farm: the Evolution of the Red River Valley." www.inforum.com/lifestyle/do...

Urban TikTok historian Shermann “Dilla” Thomas will be sharing his knowledge of Chicago, world history and more, as he joins the team at the DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center, it was announced Wednesday.

Just now received notice that tomorrow's "Collaborating beyond the Humanities" online ed session has been cancelled. Truly angry-sad for NEH colleagues whose energy, intellect, creativity & planning is all being torpedoed Not to mention the immense pressure & anxiety of their present job reality.

That moment when you discover that thing you really needed but never knew existed... that moment is now... that thing is #WombatWednesday

I was a guest on this podcast episode. I discussed my ongoing research on the history of black teacher activism. Please consider giving it a listen 😊 #blackhistory

Weird encountering materials I authored in my pre-academic careers. Patient info brochures for the corneal implant, Intacs, from my medical device marketing days. From journalism career: symposium proceedings on accounting for impacts of women's physiological differences in ocular disease research.

Relatable. 😳

I still can't believe the Guardian listed #NaturesMemory as one of 2025's biggest upcoming #books. 🤩 In it, I explore how natural history #museums display nature in biased ways, the (sometimes uncomfortable) ways they came together, & how they can save the world: www.theguardian.com/culture/2024...
