As DH grows, it’s increasingly important to publish conference papers, but there hasn’t been a clear venue for that.

So I’m thrilled to share this new home for DH proceedings, which will include CHR papers & more.

Thanks to @taylor-arnold.bsky.social for leading this effort!

Interdisciplinarity is fun because it’s something job ads in humanities HE say they want but it often feels like it actively disqualifies you (in the sense of having degrees in, and published in leading journals of, multiple distinct disciplines). Everyone believes you’re not in their discipline.

@unsloth.ai releases a Docker image

Train LLMs locally with no setup: just run the image and go.
Includes every pre-made Unsloth notebook. No more environment issues.

I've also been talking about this with colleagues and friends lately. Where do we even draw the line between DH researchers and those using AI in the humanities—if there's a line at all?
Keeping “digital humanities” together as a field is going to get so hard in the era of AI. The shear forces are intense: I see lots of humanities profs who were DH-friendly reposting Zitron.

And while E.Z. is a Limbaugh-tier thinker imo, they’re not wrong that AI is disrupting things they value. +

New preprint on "Computational Hermeneutics," co-authored by too many people to list in one post. TL;DR: GenAI is a cultural technology, and needs to be evaluated in ways that recognize situatedness, plurality, and ambiguity as the conditions of meaning — not noise to be minimized.

I’m a literary scholar. I teach digital humanities. Last week, I wrote peer reviews for a sociology journal. Tomorrow, I’m headed to a book history conference. Another reason why the “spreadsheet men” framing is unhelpful is that it collapses distinct fields with distinct intellectual traditions.
Me listening to the first 20 mins of this episode:

wow they're scrutinizing something I co-wrote on a podcast

hey they're scrutinizing something I co-wrote and not giving me any credit

I am not a Spreadsheet Man!!!
This one’s for the hardcore. But they’re gonna love it.

@dan-sinnamon.bsky.social & I bicker!
