Interested in musuems and data and doing things ethically and how these things all impact each other? Then come see me speak about skulls and tattooed skin at the Digital Humanities and Materiality seminar tomorrow (March 5) www.sas.ac.uk/news-events/...

Sometimes in this academic game we get to have truly supportive & happily productive experiences. Lunch in Leuven turned into this paper, written with two smart women, @agneatha.bsky.social and Edurne Kugeler. Fitting that it's about the human touch openhumanitiesdata.metajnl.com/articles/10....

Next month (5 March) I'm going to be talking about some research @aboutgeo.bsky.social and I did on the documentation of human remains in digitised cultural heritage collections. Please join us, via the good folks at the School of Advanced Studies www.sas.ac.uk/news-events/...

Nobody warned me how much time supervising MAs takes up (or at least, supervising them with modicum of care and encouragement). The MA thesis model is brutal: big piece of work, little time in which to do it, a major step up for many students. Are PhD supervisons as intense?

The ONiT Explorer, one of the #multimodal tools demoed at this event👇is being publicly launched by our friends at the @oeaw.bsky.social next week, with wine & snacks! 🗓️20 January 2025 ⏰ 17:00 📍Academy & online More details: www.oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/In...

Ugh, what a shame. I'll never forget taking a British friend to the Gemäldegalerie - he was amazed at the opportunity to see so many amazing works up close, in nearly empty galleries. Then I reminded him that we'd paid 12€ for the privilege.

The programme here is really interesting - art museums (Belvedere), libraries (ÖNB), Technical Museum, Freud Museum. Maybe it’s where my head is at right now, but I wonder where the Natural History folks are…

Feels very good to be in a room full of museum people again, at the Museumsbund Österreich’s regular #DigiRoundtable. Wood panelling helps too.

The only starter pack I can imagine being part of right now is the “tired toddler parents with seasonal cold sores” one. Which might actually be quite sizeable…

I sat in on my first public Austrian PhD defence last night. My viva was a long time ago, and I remember it as a very gentle and enjoyable experience, but bloody hell i’m glad there wasn’t an audience.

A couple years ago I put together a little list of yearly fellowships and applications, mostly for early modernists. It includes deadlines, salaries, and requirements. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

This piece articulates exactly what I found alienating about being Jewish and living in Germany. People were both disappointed and disapproving when I wasn't Jewish enough for whatever version of my people they expected me to be. It frequently felt like they doubted my "pedigree".
