Had the pleasure & privilege of having Prof J. Stephen Downie (School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois) present to us yesterday on “Creating Data for Open Cultural Analysis Activities: The TORCHLITE Project and Extracted Features 2.5”. Excellent speaker, even better colleague!

Anyone else having trouble with the #DHconvalidator tool for #DH2025? Trying to use it is a struggle for me each time, I admit! I’m sure there’s a simple enough solution but I can’t remember any of my hacks to fix it from previous years.

“The discussion was always about how adults were teaching children,” says Izzy Wisher, an archaeologist at Aarhus University who led the new study. “This panel shows children were also doing their own thing.”
Enigmatic signs, mysterious message, or just a bunch of kids scrawling all over the walls? 🤔

Got to keep the offspring busy, even 14k years ago. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Please spread the word! Terrific article about the NEH-funded Herculaneum Scrolls Project at UKentucky that is getting massive media coverage (though they rarely mention NEH). We're trying to emphasize the role and importance of humanities research funding!

Mind blown to only learn about this now. I will make an effort to be conscious this whenever I chair sessions.
Whenever I do a talk/panel I always ask the moderator to make sure the first Q&A comes from a woman/fem-presenting person

That more than doubles the chance that other women will be asked, subsequently, whereas if the 1st is a man, men dominate the Q&A.

Mods are always surprised, but usually try it
New blog post time!

On the theme of sharing digital work early and often... Here's a very early version of a GitHub repo with CSVs derived from Pompeii LOD: github.com/p-lod/p-lod-... . Needs work! But hey, maybe useful? And hints at getting to that state. (Cc: @epoehler.bsky.social ).
