📢 CfP for #CHR2027 is out! Submissions on all aspects of computational humanities research welcome; all details available here: 2027.computational-humanities-research.org/cfp/ And yes, CHR2027 will take place a little later than usual. So you *could* start later… but we suggest starting now!

Join @taylor-arnold.bsky.social and me for a postdoc to expand distant viewing! 2 years. Awesome liberal arts college. Great city. Option to teach 1-2 courses a year for extra pay. Thanks to Mellon for the opportunity! Happy to answer any questions. richmond.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/staff_...

My best birthday present comes this year from NWO: I’ve been awarded a #Rubicon grant! 🎁 From summer 2026, I’ll join @uantwerpen.be with my research project on early modern echo chambers and the dissemination of information through pamphlets in the Low Countries. Excited! www.nwo.nl/en/news/twen...

Hi @hathitrust.bsky.social wizards and/or American #historians (espc @uofcalifornia.bsky.social), can anyone able to help me get PDFs of this record? Really appreciate any help 🤝🙏!! catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/01031...

It's incredibly important to have a journal like Open Humanities Data. Had the pleasure working with @l-teixeiracosta.bsky.social to publish a dataset of 11k+ records from the first illustrated flora of the Netherlands (19th century) 👀 Look at that turnaround time: 1 month! doi.org/10.5334/johd...

📆 Mark your calendars: the 7th edition of CHR will take place 5–8 January 2027 in Manchester, UK, organized by the Center for Digital Humanities, Culture and Media at The University of Manchester. We hope it’s the perfect way to beat the post-Christmas and New Year blues. See you at #CHR2027!

Another year, another reminder that CHR really is my favorite conference. Loved the high quality of research at #CHR2025, the conversations with colleagues from all over the world, and meeting so many kind, smart people. Already looking forward to reuniting in Manchester for the next edition! ✨

So nice to see our work on canonical status and literary influence in Danish literary novels being discussed outside of Denmark! 🇩🇰 Curious about the paper? Find it in the ACL Anthology: aclanthology.org/2024.nlp4dh-...

Amateurhistorici zijn onmisbaar voor het ontsluiten van de lokale geschiedenis. Maar de historische kringen staan onder druk, terwijl de lokale geschiedenis jongeren nodig heeft.

We are looking for an Early Career Representative and a Proceedings Officer to join the #CHR board, and help us in evolving our community into a more organized and professional environment. The deadline of 21 February 2025 is approaching, so don't forget to send us your application!

Change over time is often depicted as a trendline. But what does shape a trendline? Which forces? Our new paper presents a method allowing to “decompose” trendlines into constituent forces. Also, we tackle an old puzzle: Does culture change “one funeral at a time”? 🧵(1/8) doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

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...

Haven’t been here for a while, so I thought I’d share a few updates on things that happened earlier this month. First: I successfully defended my PhD in history at Leiden University! 👩‍🎓

Transfer news! 🇳🇱--->🇩🇰 On August 1st, I will start as a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Humanities Computing at @aarhusuniint.bsky.social. Related to that: my dissertation got recently approved, and I will defend it at @unileiden.bsky.social on November 5th!🎓

The challenge: distilling the rapidly evolving field of Quantitative Text Analysis into one overview paper. The outcome: our latest publication in Nature Reviews Methods Primers. I hope reading it offers you as many insights as co-writing it brought me! Read it here: rdcu.be/dErq6

The 'Call for Papers' for CHR2024 is out! 📝 Submission deadline is July 8. There have been some changes to submission types and you can also propose workshops 🛠️. More info can be found here: 2024.computational-humanities-research.org/cfp/ #CHR #cfp
