I really enjoyed our panel. Didi's and my paper both explored the characteristics and "usefulness" of fictional and fabricated sources and emphasized that Jewish history is also part of German-American history. Many thanks to @drjanaweiss.bsky.social for providing the comment! #migrationhistory

Second day of "Disciplinary Transformations" by @chnunn.bsky.social starts with the "Dark Sides of DH." First up was Alíz Horváth showing us the multilingual transformations of DH over the last few years. We are more multilingual than we think! #multilingualism #multilinguality

#letstalkabouttheory! @tesstess.bsky.social explores how theory has become more visible in DH. BUT, it was never absent. #thingsareinmotion

Christof Schöch kicks off with reflections on 10 years of DHd. Institutionally, DH is a discipline. BUT in practice, it’s more complex.

Just a few more days to apply for our conference, "Rebuild or Retreat." Recent events across Europe (record heatwaves, widespread floods) and the U.S. (27 individual weather and climate disasters at least $1 billion in damages in 2024) underscore the urgency of climate migration and mobility. 👇
I am so excited to share the CfP for my next conference at @ghiwashington.bsky.social "Rebuild or Retreat? Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Climate Migration and Mobility in the Global North," April 23-24, 2026!
