Morning.

Save the date: the 2026 DH@Guelph Summer Workshops will take place May 19th-22nd! We are looking for folks to run workshops on UX, DataVis, and Videogames, with an emphasis on equity and diversity. Pls see full call here: www.uoguelph.ca/arts/researc... Applications due December 15th. #DH

Canadian academics, please sign and share. The same forces that have wrecked academic institutions and research culture south of the border are coming for us to (as we knew to expect they would).

as a condition of funding, we were asked to affirm that we wouldn’t undertake any diversity, equity, and inclusion work, whether or not we used the government funds to do so. The PSF simply couldn’t agree to that statement,

Calling all #DH #LOD #GLAM folks! Please consider answering & sharing this survey on linked data: tinyurl.com/LOD-Ecosystem The focus: your experience of linked data, the tools & standards you use, & your ideas about future directions for linked data for the humanities & cultural heritage sector.

#DHMakes is anyone doing anything like this?

Bookish friends, please note that for the Electronic Literature Collection 5: “We consider eligible literary works as any work that is fundamentally shaped by its digital nature, whether they exist purely on screens, in hybrid formats, in print, or in physical spaces” and the call includes zines!

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Book Talk: After Disruption: A Future For Cultural Memory, a discussion between @tjowens.bsky.social and @shannonmattern.bsky.social! Sept 25, 10-11am MST www.eventbrite.com/e/book-talk-...

Hey #TenureTrackLibrarian: We’re studying the tenure experiences of academic librarians who are currently on the tenure track or have been recently tenured within the last 5 years. Is that you?. Go to bit.ly/tenuretracke...

my friend @malaika-h.bsky.social is an incredibly talented and prolific crossword constructor—AND she keeps great records of her publications. I made her a very cool website that shows everything she's made malaikahanda.com

11. The history discipline venerates the single authored work too much and often discourages collaboration

Thank you to Hannah, Sarah, and Theresa for a calm and creative #DHWOGEM workshop at #DH2025. Was great to be in a room together, making, thinking, and sharing. #dhmakes

So many first timers at #DH2025 - I'm so excited for you all! Library folk, there's a special interest group (SIG) meeting on Monday. Regional DH associations meet throughout the week If you get overwhelmed easily, suggesting smaller dinners after receptions can keep things manageable

I'm attending #DH2025 virtually*, but I designed my conference poster on my ZineBakery.com research to be as Visually Extra as possible (🎵rainbow leopard print🎶) to give me (& hopefully you?) joy, so please enjoy! (*bc of fascism vs. trans passports, & recently getting sick from people not masking)

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

Essential reading (by @jasonstanley.bsky.social) for every American. The media, aided by a handful of reactionary academics and compliant university administrations, has sold the public a huge lie about wokeness on college campuses, enabling the extreme right. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
