I made a lil game inspired by the Wordle universe. It's called Versedle (pronounced Verse-a-dle). You guess who wrote famous lines of literature. As my parents can attest, it's hard! I made them an Easy Mode, but it's still kinda hard. Maybe you'll like it! ▶️ 📚: melaniewalsh.github.io/versedle/

Still feeling the high from last week’s Summer School! #DHSS2025 My biggest pride: the amazing participants we brought together: knowledgeable, critical, eager to debate and truly engage. And of course, endless gratitude to our @dhssfau.bsky.social team, who made everything run so smoothly!

So who's teaching about the "romantasy" boom? Do you all have favorite scholarly articles or books for understanding/contextualizing this trend?

What a week at the summer school ‚gender, data and society’ at @dhssfau.bsky.social. I was able to gain so many insights into interesting DH projects and, above all, I met some great researchers. Looking forward to the next opportunity! #dhss2025

✨ Good morning! After yesterday’s wonderful excursion to the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, we’re starting the day with a workshop run by Dr. Sabine Lang @sabinelang.bsky.social, where participants are modeling selected objects in #Wikidata. #DHSS2025 #DigitalHumanities

Thank you everyone for coming to the #GermanischeNationalmuseum today (despite some serious train delays and rain). I enjoyed it so much and it makes me miss working as a tour guide #dhss2025 @dhssfau.bsky.social

The excursion to Germanisches Nationalmuseum (who very generously gave our group free admission) is in full swing, with @sabinelang.bsky.social leading the tour. First stop: 14th century sculptures from Nuremberg. #DHSS2025

Es gibt gute Neuigkeiten. Mein Antrag auf Projektförderung bei der Fritz Thyssen Stiftung wurde bewilligt. Ich werde in den nächsten Jahren an der Universität Mannheim ein Projekt zum Thema: "Die Realität des Autors. Eine Konflikttheorie und Konfliktgeschichte von Werk und Person" bearbeiten.

@maria-lev.bsky.social’s "Computational Analysis of Literary Communities. Event-Based Social Network Study of St. Petersburg 1999-2019" is now live in the "Journal of Computational Literary Studies" 4(1) 👉 doi.org/10.48694/jcl...

“The true value of #corpuslinguistics is the combination of quantitative scale & qualitative depth” @gavinbrookes.bsky.social gave us so much to think about this morning #DHSS2025

Today’s keynote is Gavin Brookes on "Corpus linguistics for gender and language research". One striking example: James Bond’s masculinity is, among other things, constructed through silence (most frequent trigram in the Fleming corpus is "bond said nothing"). @gavinbrookes.bsky.social #DHSS2025

Our school participants had their first session on social network analysis with Prof. Anastasia Glawion, featuring exciting hands-on tasks and a lively discussion on fan fiction and network analysis!

In today's extended network analysis session with @anastasiaglawion.bsky.social, we're covering topics from fanfiction to war discussions #DHSS2025

First highlight of the week: keynote by Anna Foka from Uppsala University talking about “AI and Heritage“ #dhss2025 @dhssfau.bsky.social

Our first keynote has started: Anna Foka is delving into usages of AI in #HeritageStudies and the cultural implications of rebuilding and restoration - fascinating! @annafoka.bsky.social @dhssfau.bsky.social #DHSS2025

So looking forward to our summer school next week! #DHSS2025

Registration is closed, planes are booked, and preparations are in their final stage. Check out the full program and stay tuned!

I only just learned that Wulf Kansteiner passed away a month ago. I had the privilege of discussing my PhD research on digital methods for memory studies with him at a Mnemonics Summer School. He had such a sharp mind, and I’ve learned a lot from his work. Grateful to have crossed paths with him.

Welcome Ismail! Great to have you on board!
