I'm very pleased to share my new article on the python library undate, which is an ambitious in-progress effort to make it easier to work with incomplete dates and multiple calendars, building on work from Shakespeare and Company Project, Princeton Geniza Project, etc. doi.org/10.1017/chr....

And we feature software papers! Check out @suttonkoeser.bsky.social Julia Damerow, Robert Casties, Cole Crawford exciting work on working with dates in computational humanities!

After publishing our conference proceedings with CEUR for 5 years, we need a new venue. 🚨 How do we ensure that the CHR proceedings remain free, accessible, and interdisciplinary? 🖥️ Join the discussion and share your thoughts here: discourse.computational-humanities-research.org/t/call-for-i...

It's a new year and "A New Phase for Derrida’s Margins" 🌘 @jerielizabeth.bsky.social interviews @suttonkoeser.bsky.social on the decision and process of transforming Derrida’s Margins into a “read-only” version and discusses the challenge of defining endings and potential futures for DH projects.

FINISH the year with STARTWORDS! Announcing the release of Issue 5: Processes 🎉 This issue features the work of 3 leading grad students from CDH using data curation and visualization to highlight the importance of everyday, historical people whose lives may otherwise have remained unknown to us.

@miguelev.bsky.social following up on our conversations about data physicalization - here is my work from a few years ago: startwords.cdh.princeton.edu/issues/1/dat...

Thanks again to all the organizers and presenters at #CHR2024 for such a great conference and so many good conversations. I'm continuing to process and take in all the things I learned, as I share insights with my colleagues at @princetoncdh.bsky.social .

The next DHTech meetup is on October 10, and we’ll be talking about community code review and AI code review. Have you tried any AI code review tools? What about static tools for analysis or scanning that don’t claim to be intelligent? dh-tech.github.io/2024/09/11/d...

📣 We're hiring! Do you want to advance humanistic research through software and tackle research questions? Do you love to write code to solve problems? Apply as our new Research Software Engineer (RSE)! cdh.princeton.edu/opportunitie...

Such a delight to sit down with the great @a_greenberg for a long engaged convo on surveillance, AI, my wild path through tech, and how by rejecting the toxic norm Signal provides a shining model for better, healthier tech futures♥️ www.wired.com/story/meredi...

There’s still time to nominate yourself or someone else to be part of a panel for the US-RSE conference this fall. How does research domain impact #RSE work? forms.gle/zYTJMb9m2D8e...

Is there something qualitatively different about being an RSE in the humanities? Are we behind the sciences in adoption, or is it something else? What about other domains? We’re facilitating a conversation at US-RSE’24 and want your perspective.

We are looking for panelists for a US-RSE '24 Birds of a Feather conversation “RSEs in domain-specific ecosystems”. For more details and to indicate your interest to be a panelist, please complete the nomination form by July 15. forms.gle/SqAutkgAKkTH...

On my way to the airport for the @dariah.bsky.social conference on Workflows. “Worked Up About Data” is a preview of forthcoming Poetry’s Data & story behind Data Work w @zoeleblanc.bsky.social. Excited to see @princetoncdh.bsky.social folks present their work! María Medem inspired the slides.

I finally updated my personal site. I wrote a post about migrating it from Jekyll to Hugo, and how all my customization and experiments made that harder. rlskoeser.github.io/2024/06/15/w...

🗞️🎉 Have you seen the new article cluster on the CDH-sponsored Shakespeare and Company Project, edited by Joshua Kotin & CDH Lead RSE @suttonkoeser.bsky.social?! Check out: bit.ly/ShakesCoProj... or read the essays in the Journal of Cultural Analytics or @mmodernity.bsky.social (they're copublished!)

What do you do when your data has gaps & unknowns? In “Missing Data, Speculative Reading” @zoeleblanc.bsky.social and I delve into Shakespeare & Company datasets to estimate & speculatively fill in gaps. modernismmodernity.org/forums/posts... culturalanalytics.org/article/1169...

I'm super proud of this new essay that I got to work on with my Cornell lab crew! We compare the reading habits of early 1900s Shakespeare & Co members and contemporary Goodreads users. Who stayed popular? Who faded into obscurity? And what else can we learn? modernismmodernity.org/forums/posts...

A ton of folks at the CDH & incredible graduate students in Princeton English have worked for SO LONG on this project -- please read & share! modernismmodernity.org/forums/world... Especially excited about @zoeleblanc.bsky.social and @suttonkoeser.bsky.social's article.
