There's a missing rung on the academic career ladder in Austria and Germany. Historically there wasn't a position like assistant professor or lecturer, so the jump from postdoc to professor was — and mostly still is — huge. Between 70% and 80% of academics in Austria don't have permanent jobs.

Goodbye, Daejeon! See you all in Galway! #DH2026 #DH2027

@peetertinits.bsky.social at the last session of #DH2026 talking about using huge harmonized bibliographic datasets to study the diffusion of information and patterns of language adoption across Early Modern -> Modern Europe. V. cool!

News from Daejeon, where #DH2026 is currently taking place and the official announcement has just been made: @adho.org has selected the University of Padua to host #DH2029! A major achievement for the bid team and for the entire Italian DH community.

Coming up with these models will require creativity and persuasive […]

Look, MIT Press are progressive in OA publishing. Heck, I have published with them and have another book under contract with them. But they always think they are the source of influence, never the influenced. They rarely acknowledge the work of others […]

Great take away from the LOOP project to digitise the #Ottoman census records from #Gaza (presented by Johann Büssow, Sarah Büssow, and Olaf Berg): >HTR errors are easier to recognise than to detect plausible-looking LLM hallucinations #DH2026

As a Quarto / reveal.js user, and someone who hasn't used PowerPoint in about 15 years, I am intrigued by the new look and feel of many of the presentation slides at #DH2026. Often, they have a very particular and recongnizable preference for layout, colors, boxes, illustrations, and fonts […]

Very lucky and grateful to present this paper in Daejeon at #DH2026 with @tonyamart.bsky.social — if you’re wondering what the queen of pop herself is doing on the slide, we also have posterior predictions over her song lyrics and her poetry book!

I love how many #DH2026 presenters are so robust and advanced in their analytical methods but ALSO extremely accurate and knowledgeable about very small details of the data they used. Data curation and quality is the core of this community! 🧡

Coming up soon, the poster session! Meet me to find out what 'Mapping DH' is. #DH2026

Dear #DH2026 presenters, using AI to assist in slides preparation is OK, but remember that the default templates are terrible and nobody in the room will be able to read that small text. #UnsolicitedAdvice
