    In a sense domain researchers just need to be in a position to help those students build a useful bridge to concrete problems. The return on “finding smart grad students to help” is like 20x greater than on “persuading senior colleagues to start an initiative.”

    These celebrity faculty victories ring pretty hollow when such a large proportion of faculty workers in this country are a non-TT precarious labor force being harmed by the same administrators praised for their hiring decisions

    The has gone virtual! But just like before, these scholars are learning foundational technical skills and knowledge, which they will take back to host similar institutes at their home campuses

    Apparently this is from a CIA guide to disrupting Leftist meetings. Isn't this just a standard academic meeting? 😉

    Super measured & thoughtful take on academic research + social impact (who are we really helping with our work?), w/ a useful critique of social capital privilege. Both problems seem esp pervasive in the humanities + I got into DH/cultural analytics bc I saw an opening for change

    Academia rewards clever papers over real world impact. That makes it less useful. But it also perpetuates privilege—those with less experience of injustice find it easier to play the game, i.e. work on abstruse problems while ignoring topics that address pressing needs.

    Senior faculty told me not to waste my time reading this, and admin told me not to share it.

    🚨 Now out in 🚨 Analyzing social media posts from news accounts and politicians (n = 2,730,215), we found that the biggest predictor of "virality" (out of all predictors we measured) was whether a social media post was about one's outgroup.

    The Text Analysis Pedagogy Institute was inundated with applications. Humanists want to learn how to understand and use data for teaching and research!

    I severely underestimated how many people would be interested in a Gentle Introduction to Excel and Spreadsheets for Humanities People. You can now read about and download my powerpoint (in full) directly from my website:

    Take a look at the most-desired DH skills. Does your university or library offer training in them?

    "Digital Humanities in the iSchool," an open-access JASIST article, written by 13 authors from 4 continents, led by John A. Walsh. Will be esp. valuable I think for its survey of skills requested in 194 job ads for DH and digital scholarship librarians.
