'Investing in languages is not a sentimental project; it is a strategic one.' Great blog from Martha Lane Fox martha6j5h2.substack.com/p/britain-is...

Congratulations to Dr Kaspar Beelen (@dh-researchhub.bsky.social) and colleagues Dr Ruth Ahnert (@qmul.bsky.social), Dr Mariona Coll Ardanuy (Barcelona Supercomputing Center) and Dr Daniel Wilson (@ucl.ac.uk) who've received a grant from Schmidt Sciences to bring AI to humanities research.

Great #MultilingualDH food for thought, reflecting on global Englishes, the afterlives of British colonial education, and how that intersects with what writing is judged to be "human".

The collateral damage of people upset (often with good reasons) about generative AI is their digital humanities colleagues. It’s outpacing 2010 levels of vitriol, by a lot. The irony is we’re the best allies — we understand how the tech works and can translate between the doom and the hype. +

Good piece from Katie Normington at De Montfort University reminding us the post 92 universities have done excellent research for a long time and that this ought not be endangered by the White Paper call for specialisation wonkhe.com/blogs/labour...

Our latest issue, Wasafiri 124: Presencia y Resistencia - British Latinx Writing & Art is now available to read for our digital subscribers and those with access to Taylor & Francis 💻 If you’re unable to access Wasafiri digitally, preorder the print issue: buff.ly/OWMJ4pb

Got to flip through @rondagrizzle.bsky.social's reviewer's copy & this book looks great—smart honest digital humanities understanding "failure" as useful & often necessary part of iterative, creative, experimental research (failures & methods/goals, not ethics/people) +
