An honor to be a part of the Colloque CRIHN 2025 en l’honneur de Stéfan Sinclair. A warm welcome from Dean Frédéric Bouchard and Michael Sinatra. Now a great talk by Servanne Monjour on the death of digital literature and the archive. www.crihn.org/nouvelles/20...

On my way back from #DH2025 to Montreal with some merch, thanks to @clsinfra.bsky.social! (Please no comment on my general appearance and tired eyes, I got to the airport around 5am...) I was really impressed by the state of computational literary studies in Europe!

Meeting quite a few people at #DH2025, I didn't realise how large a DH conference could be! I'll be presenting a poster on Cybermeneutic, my ongoing project that is both a tool for augmented reading and my study of Philip K. Dick's corpus! Find out more at yann-audin.github.io/Cybermeneuti... !

Thank you, @ach.bsky.social #ACH2025 team & to everyone that participated in sessions this week to come together in a time where we need community more than, perhaps, ever! And thank you @audinyann.bsky.social for capturing the pure joy of the Work Adventure dance party! #ACH2025

Happy to be part of the @ach.bsky.social dance party on this third and last day of #ach2025 ! Thanks everyone and see you next year!

Happy, shocked and grateful! I didn't get to meet Ian Lancashire, but his wife Anne and his former students all confirmed our shared love of Philip K. Dick and humanities computing. You can find the CybermeneuticsTools on github: github.com/Yann-Audin/C...

Une première visite aux locaux de l'INRS pour l'École des maîtres de la Chaire de recherche du Québec sur l'intelligence artificielle et le numérique francophone!

Colleges, universities, and secondary institutions all across the world are defunding Humanities programs. It’s up to us to continue the conversation that they are just as vital to our lives as any other program. Humanities are part of who we are. In fact, it is all we are.

Do you remember when I told you that your institutional repository was on a list for a future purge? And to save copies of everything in multiple places? It's time you prioritized that. Now.

Early bird registration closes April 4th at noon (Eastern Time = Montreal time) Join us for "Digital Pedagogy and the Book: Tools, Methods, and Projects" - led by me and @andiesilva.bsky.social @ DHSI, U de Montreal, 2-6 June 2025 dhsi.org

""We were given a prompt as an invitation to participate in this newsletter: “How are you using AI in the classroom?” While we have accepted this invitation, we are engaging in the most humanistic act we can imagine—refusing the prompt." 😈

'Mistake' I am excited to see confirmed that having ethics in AI be a prominent part of your company's profile and hiring makes no impact at all on initial decisions for the very good reason that you just ignore it exists. Public shame, however....

I send the original to @mjcrockett.bsky.social yesterday saying we should write a rebuttal though neither of us have time, and then VOILÀ!! We need MORE of this! MORE responses from academics, more shaming, more fighting against the broligarchy's shameless grift on universities!

Didn't find one, so made a computational literary studies starter pack, with notable bunch of european folks and early career scholars. My circle here is small, so please reply/dm to be added or removed and suggest people from your networks! go.bsky.app/4et1nxZ

Speaking only of the US context here: outside of libel/defamation concerns, there is no legal requirement for books to be true. PLEASE buy your mushroom books from a reputable publisher (who has *very* strong reputational incentives to publish accurate books, even without a legal requirement.)

VocUM, une conférence interdisciplinaire sur le langage menée par les étudiant.e.s de l'Université de Montréal, a sorti son appel aux propositions pour sa 11e édition! C'est, d'année en année, un événement grande envergure! vocum.ca/vocum-2021-l...

Dans ce nouvel épisode de Skhole, Arilys Jia et moi-même interviewons Marcello Vitali-Rosati sur le concept de bug. tinyurl.com/mr2v65d4 Son nouveau livre, Éloge du bug, vient d'ailleurs de paraître chez Zones!

I don't think "teach students how to use the models" is an inspiring slogan: a) because today's models aren't all that, and b) even if they were, that's just "teach them how to use Excel." But there are epistemic principles behind spreadsheets and LLMs — and we should def be teaching those.

The CASCADE project is recruiting for 10 generously funded PhD projects broadly related to language and linguistics, and text and cultural analytics. CASCADE PhD projects are detailed as follows: lnkd.in/e84nEaq2 Applicants can be any nationality. Please share far and wide! #DigitalHumanities
