It’s really hard to post this. I know that there are a lot of other important issues asking for money but things have gotten to the point where we need to open ourselves up to your support.
Thank you for your consideration.

Excited to finally announce the release of my first ever book, and the first ever book from we here press. It is a pocket-size guide to my archival theories and experiences in the form of essays- some you may have heard in part as lectures, some which are unpublished until now.

Hey historians and digital humanists, in light of the AHA’s AIgate, here are a few ways I approach AI in the classroom. Feel free to add your own! These are in the context of digital humanities courses deeply rooted in history, literature, and tech/data ethics.
