The participants of our school have designed a number of graphical abstracts, with just a few glimpses shown here. A creative journey for researchers and future scholars to broaden their skills, discover new ways to visualise their work, and make it more visible and accessible. #DHSS2025

We are truly honoured to have Prof. Mareike Schumacher @mkschumacher.bsky.social with us, delivering her amazing talk on corpus compilation and gender-sensitive analysis. What a wonderful way to conclude the final day of our school! #DHSS2025 #DigitalHumanities

What a great week it was!! Very sad that our summer school is almost over but very excited that we end it with a keynote by @mkschumacher.bsky.social 🤩 Mareike talked about corpus compilation and gender analysis in the #DH @dhssfau.bsky.social @dhregensburg.bsky.social

We explored how language shifts across gender, style, and register ✍️ With Dr. Marianna Grachova, we learned how Keyfeature analysis reveals the words and structures that make each variety stand out 🔍 #DHSS2025 #Linguistics #Sociolinguistics #LanguageVariation

What does it mean to ‘stay’ in a place, and how can sound capture that experience? 🎧 Dr. Dominik Kremer and @andreaswagnr.bsky.social guided us through Tracing Qualities of Stay, exploring voice recordings tied to place and presence. #DHSS2025 #SoundStudies #Linguistics #PlaceAndSpace

✨ 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

CliC, CliC, CliC...📚🖥 Participants learned a great deal by using a powerful digital tool like Clic to analyze #gender in #19th-century #fiction with concordance analysis, all run by Dr. Nathan Dykes @nfdykes.bsky.social. #DHSS2025 #DigitialHumanities #FAU #CliC

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

Eight now in our Summer School on Data, Gender and Society @nfdykes.bsky.social is introducing hands on examples of concordance analysis with flexiconc. #DHSS2025

Honoured to give a keynote at the Data, Gender and Society summer school at @dhssfau.bsky.social this morning. Thanks so much for the invitation, and great audience engagement! @lancslinguistics.bsky.social

One for the calendars 📅 #IVACS2026 will take place in Malta, July 1-3 2026! I'm honoured to be among the plenary speakers. More details on the conference and call for papers here: www.um.edu.mt/events/ivacs...

Now @nfdykes.bsky.social is setting out to make connections between close & distant reading #DHSS2025 @rc21project.bsky.social

“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

Beginning Day#3 with a keynote by the amazing @gavinbrookes.bsky.social #DHSS2025 @dhssfau.bsky.social

Now our participants are getting ready to design their own visual abstracts - all happening at #DHSS2025 with @ismailbarakat.bsky.social @dhssfau.bsky.social

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

🎉 Happening TOMORROW! Make sure to follow #DHSS2025 #DataGenderSociety to join us from afar!

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

Anna Foka giving a brilliant keynote on "AI and Heritage: Critical perspectives on AI for the Archives, Libraries and Museum sector" – and of course, I was especially happy about the opportunity to quickly revive my Swedish reading skills on some of the slides showing ongoing projects ☺️ #DHSS2025

First time in Erlangen for #DHSS2025!
