🚀 Just launched the #DigitalHumanities Early Career Fellowship at @unipotsdam.bsky.social ✅
In the first class, we turned historical sources into data with OCR, discussed “what counts as data” in the humanities, did some metadata modeling, and met a wonderful new cohort of young researchers!

If you were wondering why Krakow attracts so many #DigitalHumanities action (from @teiconsortium.bsky.social to @jcls-io.bsky.social), it’s not only thanks to the great work by the DH centre of @jagiellonskiuni.bsky.social. We DHers just like our pilgrimages to the tomb of the founder of stylometry💁♂️

Mareike @mkschumacher.bsky.social, Marie Flüh & Felix Lempp explore how plants, animals & habitats appear in 680 German #DraCor plays (1510–1947). 🌱🐎🌳 Findings: ecologies appear rarely, peak twice (1800–1850 & 1900), and are richer in speech than in stage directions
