Looking for suggestions about the (theoretical) origins of the concept of 'makerspaces' in digital humanities. Any useful sources please?

Thanks!

Shaimaa’s PhD will be funded by @sgsah.bsky.social (supervised by @hannahkateboast.bsky.social Will Tattersdill & me, in partnership with @commapress.bsky.social) - but she is currently trapped in Gaza unless the UK Gov relaxes its requirement for biometric data bsky.app/profile/comm...
Shaymaa Abulebda, an influential writer & scholar from Gaza, should soon be starting a PhD at the University of Edinburgh [part of which is an internship at Comma]. Instead she lives in a tent in al-Mawasi displacement camp in the ruins of southern Gaza.

There is currently significant respiratory virus activity in the EU/EEA, with both #influenza and #RSV epidemics ongoing.

#Vaccination campaigns against respiratory pathogens continue in many EU/EEA countries, and people who are eligible for vaccination are encouraged to get vaccinated.

We have the immense privilege of contributing even just a small bit to #romancelandia supporting indie romance authors by transcribing their manuscripts and I’d LOVE to expand our client list here and in fiction and non fiction literature more broadly

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product.

On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.
