Join @taylor-arnold.bsky.social and me for a postdoc to expand distant viewing! 2 years. Awesome liberal arts college. Great city. Option to teach 1-2 courses a year for extra pay. Thanks to Mellon for the opportunity! Happy to answer any questions. richmond.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/staff_...

My best birthday present comes this year from NWO: I’ve been awarded a #Rubicon grant! 🎁 From summer 2026, I’ll join @uantwerpen.be with my research project on early modern echo chambers and the dissemination of information through pamphlets in the Low Countries. Excited! www.nwo.nl/en/news/twen...

Hi @hathitrust.bsky.social wizards and/or American #historians (espc @uofcalifornia.bsky.social), can anyone able to help me get PDFs of this record? Really appreciate any help 🤝🙏!! catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/01031...

It's incredibly important to have a journal like Open Humanities Data. Had the pleasure working with @l-teixeiracosta.bsky.social to publish a dataset of 11k+ records from the first illustrated flora of the Netherlands (19th century) 👀 Look at that turnaround time: 1 month! doi.org/10.5334/johd...

📆 Mark your calendars: the 7th edition of CHR will take place 5–8 January 2027 in Manchester, UK, organized by the Center for Digital Humanities, Culture and Media at The University of Manchester. We hope it’s the perfect way to beat the post-Christmas and New Year blues. See you at #CHR2027!

Another year, another reminder that CHR really is my favorite conference. Loved the high quality of research at #CHR2025, the conversations with colleagues from all over the world, and meeting so many kind, smart people. Already looking forward to reuniting in Manchester for the next edition! ✨
