Looking forward to #EAJS2026 in Poznań this week! Find me on Friday morning presenting at the "Augmenting Landscapes in Japanese Printed Media: Making Meaning of Sites from the Edo Period to the Present" Panel VisArt06: nomadit.co.uk/conference/e...

Taking place now! #AAS2026

A full second conference day, part of which included discussing the future of Japan Studies, and how we can network better to strenghten the field and future chances for our students! #AAS2026 #JapanStudies #AreaStudies #Networks

And so it begins! #AAS2026

1/4 First time at #AAS2026, and #Vancouver is delivering — today's sleet taking turns with blue skies over the last couple of days. Three things on my schedule this week: 🧵

How do you find volunteers for a #CitizenScience project in an internet built for consumption? #DrawingFromTheCrowd is now featured on #CoLabField — a platform connecting #DigitalHumanities research across #Japan and Europe.

Two talks in Japan this month—join online! 🎌 Jan 19 @ Chuo Uni: Keynote "Making Computational Boundaries Visible", presenting "Drawing from the Crowd" citizen science georeferencing project + AI_d chatbot for creating AI use policies in teaching. Info/register: sites.google.com/view/chuodala2025

Here Naruto whirlpool aligned with the background, with creative liberties in the foreground. There is plenty more for those of you interested in doing this yourself: you can engage directly on the platform, just select one and click on 'geolocalize'! This one had inspired me to study#JapaneseArt!

Where would you stand to see this view? That is the puzzle at the heart of Drawing from the Crowd—a citizen science project exploring how Edo-period Japanese prints depicted landscapes. We'd love your help solving it 🧵

How do you create AI guidelines that support rather than undermine student learning? I've developed AI_d—a prompt-activated chatbot that guides course instructors through creating pedagogically sound AI policies using learning frameworks like Bloom's Taxonomy, SAMR, and Cognitive Apprenticeship.

The DO was started with the idea of brining to a wide audience developments and topics in the #DH worlds of Asian, N. African and Middle Eastern fields. It is currently the only platform that does so, as open-access resource. Support us

Off to the University of Cambridge! Really excited to take part in this Symposium. #graphicnarratives #earlymodernjapan #kusazoushi

Invitation to join me at the Nippon Foundation-organized "Japan Studies Webinar 1 - Next-Gen Career Paths: Interdisciplinary and Diverse Trajectories in Japan Studies" (Fri Sept 26, 5PM JST): #JapanStudies #AcademicCareers /1

Thank you for the opportunity!

#Newpost #guestcontribution by Stephanie Santschi on how to teach students studying *EastAsian *ArtHistory to use AI as a learning tool rather than as an academic crutch. #japaneseart #japaneseDH #DHandteaching digitalorientalist.com/2025/09/09/t...

This Thursday I'm presenting "Developing Learning-Outcome-Oriented AI Usage Guidelines" at the #AIinTeaching Forum @UZH! The goal? Moving from "You can't use GPT" to "For this specific assignment, AI can help you with X, Y, and Z, but you need to do A, B, and C yourself to master the core skills."

Looking forward to meeting old and new colleagues! Here's to building minds, developing ideas, constructing concepts, connecting serendipities. 19. #Japanologentag, in Frankfurt (M), Goethe-Universität.

1st session, day 2: “The global state of digital history: Establishing data culture(s) in uncertain times” / Take away quote: “History is important because it shows the past was different which means the future can be different” - Till Grallert, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin bit.ly/3IO2LU1 #DH2025

Chose “Digital Mapping & Crowdsourcing for Cultural Heritage & Dialect Studies” for my first #DH2025 session. bit.ly/40R5T7U / maps are such a key entry point for many DH projects and these were all excellent examples / great to see @iiif.bsky.social used in various projects

Ready for an exciting first morning at the #DH2025 conference! I'll be speaking about our "Drawing from the Crowd" geo-citizen science project on early modern Japanese prints in the second panel, at 11am!

Fantastic insights, especially re: working with questions, not lists of features. #DH2025 #digitalhumanities #GIS

Katie McDonough@kmcdono.bsky.social · last yr.

Later today at #DH2025: teaching the MapReader workshop w/ @danielwilson.bsky.social & Kaspar Beelen + Rosie Wood remote. And first thing Wednesday we are giving a paper about analyzing text on maps as research data.

Got all ducks in a row for the first #digitalhumanities session of #DH2025! First up: a workshop on Computer Vision and the Illustrated Book, by Giles Bergel and David Miguel Susano Pinto (Oxford).

Off to Lisboa, for #DH2025! Excited to attend the pre-conference workshops and speak about my geolocalisation of Japanese ukiyo-e prints utilizing citizens' and computers' intelligences!

@dkrichardson.bsky.social and I presented "Drawing from the Crowd", which we prototyped between August 2024-January 2025, at The Digital Orientalist's “AI and the Digital Humanities” Virtual Conference 2025, Panel 2: AI, Digital Histories, and Visual Archives. digitalorientalist.com/2025/05/16/a...

Coming up this Saturday! I'll be presenting with @dkrichardson.bsky.social :)

Short paper proposal for #DH2025 accepted! Super grateful for the reviewers' comments too!🙏Excited to present "Reconstructing Japan’s Scenic Past from Prints: Combining Citizen Science and AI-Methods for Authenticating Direct Observation in Ukiyo-e Landscapes" in Lisbon this July 🥳
