How do we relate to data that identifies a specific enslaved person? Jamelle Bouie warns that digital tools risk "abstracting the human reality away from the story." This caution is crucial for those working with historical archives.

This is so important...People are not #data. In creating datasets for historical #BigData or large scale analyses we need to do carefully thought data capture design and come back to close reading. #AI #ML #DigitalHumanities

Hello: I’m looking for recommendations for *innovative* historical biographies that have appeared recently.
I’m particularly interested in biography against the grain (eg the classics by Ginzburg, NZ Davis, or Corbin on Pinagot).
So academic crossover vibe more than politician-hobby-historian vibe 🗃️
