Gave a talk this week at Universität Leipzig on multilingual approaches in Digital Humanities. It felt timely and essential to dive into conversations on language, diversity, and the transformative, field-shifting work of some of my DH colleagues. Happy to share slides with interested parties.

Friday 10/18 at 1pm: DM me for the Zoom link. This talk will be of interest to those working on Multilingual DH, minority languages (in this case, Basque), DH program building and Global DH. Talk will be in English, but let's be honest, we all secretly want to learn Basque!

It is with a heavy heart that I share news of the passing of our dear colleague and cherished friend, Prof. Monica Popescu, on Saturday evening, the 24th of February of brain cancer.
Monica's work on on Cold War literary studies was truly field-shifting. Her absence impoverishes our world. 💔
