Two talks in Japan this month—join online! 🎌 Jan 19 @ Chuo Uni: Keynote "Making Computational Boundaries Visible", presenting "Drawing from the Crowd" citizen science georeferencing project + AI_d chatbot for creating AI use policies in teaching. Info/register: sites.google.com/view/chuodala2025

Here Naruto whirlpool aligned with the background, with creative liberties in the foreground. There is plenty more for those of you interested in doing this yourself: you can engage directly on the platform, just select one and click on 'geolocalize'! This one had inspired me to study#JapaneseArt!

Where would you stand to see this view? That is the puzzle at the heart of Drawing from the Crowd—a citizen science project exploring how Edo-period Japanese prints depicted landscapes. We'd love your help solving it 🧵

How do you create AI guidelines that support rather than undermine student learning? I've developed AI_d—a prompt-activated chatbot that guides course instructors through creating pedagogically sound AI policies using learning frameworks like Bloom's Taxonomy, SAMR, and Cognitive Apprenticeship.

The DO was started with the idea of brining to a wide audience developments and topics in the #DH worlds of Asian, N. African and Middle Eastern fields. It is currently the only platform that does so, as open-access resource. Support us

Off to the University of Cambridge! Really excited to take part in this Symposium. #graphicnarratives #earlymodernjapan #kusazoushi

Invitation to join me at the Nippon Foundation-organized "Japan Studies Webinar 1 - Next-Gen Career Paths: Interdisciplinary and Diverse Trajectories in Japan Studies" (Fri Sept 26, 5PM JST): #JapanStudies #AcademicCareers /1

Thank you for the opportunity!

This Thursday I'm presenting "Developing Learning-Outcome-Oriented AI Usage Guidelines" at the #AIinTeaching Forum @UZH! The goal? Moving from "You can't use GPT" to "For this specific assignment, AI can help you with X, Y, and Z, but you need to do A, B, and C yourself to master the core skills."

Looking forward to meeting old and new colleagues! Here's to building minds, developing ideas, constructing concepts, connecting serendipities. 19. #Japanologentag, in Frankfurt (M), Goethe-Universität.

1st session, day 2: “The global state of digital history: Establishing data culture(s) in uncertain times” / Take away quote: “History is important because it shows the past was different which means the future can be different” - Till Grallert, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin bit.ly/3IO2LU1 #DH2025

Chose “Digital Mapping & Crowdsourcing for Cultural Heritage & Dialect Studies” for my first #DH2025 session. bit.ly/40R5T7U / maps are such a key entry point for many DH projects and these were all excellent examples / great to see @iiif.bsky.social used in various projects

Ready for an exciting first morning at the #DH2025 conference! I'll be speaking about our "Drawing from the Crowd" geo-citizen science project on early modern Japanese prints in the second panel, at 11am!

Fantastic insights, especially re: working with questions, not lists of features. #DH2025 #digitalhumanities #GIS

Got all ducks in a row for the first #digitalhumanities session of #DH2025! First up: a workshop on Computer Vision and the Illustrated Book, by Giles Bergel and David Miguel Susano Pinto (Oxford).

Off to Lisboa, for #DH2025! Excited to attend the pre-conference workshops and speak about my geolocalisation of Japanese ukiyo-e prints utilizing citizens' and computers' intelligences!

@dkrichardson.bsky.social and I presented "Drawing from the Crowd", which we prototyped between August 2024-January 2025, at The Digital Orientalist's “AI and the Digital Humanities” Virtual Conference 2025, Panel 2: AI, Digital Histories, and Visual Archives. digitalorientalist.com/2025/05/16/a...

Coming up this Saturday! I'll be presenting with @dkrichardson.bsky.social :)

Short paper proposal for #DH2025 accepted! Super grateful for the reviewers' comments too!🙏Excited to present "Reconstructing Japan’s Scenic Past from Prints: Combining Citizen Science and AI-Methods for Authenticating Direct Observation in Ukiyo-e Landscapes" in Lisbon this July 🥳

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Monday for our digital humanities webinar on localizing ukiyo-e prints. (I also owe a debt of gratitude to my wonder collaborators, @stesantschi.bsky.social , Himanshu Panday, and @tsujihirohito.bsky.social )

Exciting news! 🎉 Recently, our project "Drawing from the Crowd: A Citizen Science Platform for Mapping Ukiyo-e Geography" has been selected by the Nippon Foundation Scholars Association (TNFSA) as one of five 2024 Nippon Social Innovators Collaboration (NSIC) projects!

#ChartingDSEA First up: Prof. Christian Henriot on "Taming the Digital Dragon". His key message: develop and provide infrastructures, not platforms for research to build the corpus -> extract data -> analyse data.

Super excited about the content of a parcel that reached my mailbox this morning - publication time! 🧵

Bags are unpacked, and I am starting the post-conference follow-up of the many strands that I was able to weave with my network during this visit to #Japan.

Looking forward to attending #ASCJ2023 at Sophia University, Tokyo, today! https://ascjapan.org/

One of the most iconic print designs the artist I researched during my PhD, Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), created, is what we know in the anglophone world as "The Great Wave".

Planted my #PhTree, to symbolically pay back nature for the many printouts during my PhD journey! A lemon variety 🍋 #phdlife #PhDone @PhDVoice @PhDForum

It's #BSOTuesday! Today, a gem - or should I say star - from the archive - remember when #Zurich was star-shaped? When you compare the georeferenced map visualisation with the print, you can make out the line of the old city wall in some of the streets and river channeling. 👇
