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!

"What’s teacherly abt me... is that I love giving people a concept they can use as a tool to open up the world. That’s what theory is to me: a can opener. Or a key to a vast kingdom. Using things as 🔑s, instead of as 🔨s, is to me one of the most beautiful thing abt being an academic + a theorist."

“'I see the page, the spread, or the book as another medium where I could transpose what I have learned and known about film—sequence, rhythm, and pacing,' he says. In publishing projects like Tenderness Montage he has attempted to translate the filmic montage into a sequence of printed pages."
For Alec Figuracion the sequence, rhythm, and pacing of a film is akin to that of a book
Treading the line between publication design and moving image, the designer has found more to the two mediums than that which keeps them apart.

Evaluating topic models (and document clustering methods) is hard. In fact, since our paper critiquing standard evaluation practices four years ago, there hasn't been a good replacement metric
That ends today (we hope)! Our new ACL paper introduces an LLM-based evaluation protocol 🧵

In this post I compiled a literature review of research about such gendered service disparities. These dynamics contributed to my resignation from a tenured full professorship last week.

It’s absolutely not a matter of “just saying no” — not only because the repercussions of refusal are inequitable, but also bc it’s wrong to create individual responsibility for increasing systemic dysfunction: more + more service work spread across fewer folks in a guilt-powered volunteer economy
