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!

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 🤝🙏!!

Abstract of the paper and turnaround time from submission to publication.

Example double page of the Flora Batava series including illustration and text sections. Letters indicate the different segments of the text: a) “species names”, b) “flowering time”, c) “classification”, d) “sexual characteristics”, e) “species traits”, f) “habitat”, g) “medicinal use”, h) “domestic use”.

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!

📆 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!

Sorry ik wist dit al anderhalf jaar maar durfde er niet voor uit te komen

Ah yes, I feel you. But who knows, CHR2027 might be perfect for beating the January blues 😊

At #CHR2025, I also had the chance to present our work on book encounters in the 19th-century Danish periphery. Really appreciated the thoughtful questions and comments afterwards, and I'm excited to keep developing the project by building on all the great suggestions!

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! ✨

So nice to see our work on canonical status and literary influence in Danish literary novels being discussed outside of Denmark! 🇩🇰

a schematic depiction of a trend line and several causal forces that give it its shape

Change over time is often depicted as a trendline. But what does shape a trendline? Which forces? Our new paper presents a method allowing to “decompose” trendlines into constituent forces. Also, we tackle an old puzzle: Does culture change “one funeral at a time”? 🧵(1/8) doi.org/10.1098/rspb...
