I wrote up the talk I gave at CESTA a couple weeks ago, on how we're overdue on changing the narrative about what digital humanities prepares students for. It's not fallback jobs in tech, it's getting involved in your community in moments of crisis. And craft helps build those skills. #DHmakes

Bibliographies for the People – AHA Embracing alternative citation help the public better engage with trade history books.

In #AHAPerspectives, Rhiannon Garth Jones and Matthew Gabriele argue for moving away from the traditional bibliography in trade books and toward something more conversational to engage with the wider public. 🗃️

Annotated editions are such a treat. Martin Gardner's annotated Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-glass is a classic for a reason.

The Mapping Deportations project has an animated timeline of who gets deported in the US. In the 1910s the US starts deporting more Mexicans than any other group & doesn't let up through the present day. You can follow which groups are the targets of immigrant panics pretty clearly.

As a historian of the 18th c and an American, I've always known 2026 would be a critical moment. This doc is worth watching, and thinking through. Begins and ends w Indigenous contexts, conveys the horrors of a civil war wrought w racism + the ideals of liberty and equality we keep reaching for. 1/
