"I'll be presenting at #MLA26" official image with a stylized landscape of Toronto.

On my way to MLA 2026 to participate in a round table (Critical Digital Humanities - 3:30pm on the 8th): let me know if you want to meet up!

#MLA26 #MLA2026

(Yes, adding the official "I'll be presenting" picture to this post is super corny, but I stand by my decision!)

a handsome book cover: The Routledge Companion to Digital Humanities in Practice ; blue at top and bottom and with ethereal black and white and rainbow edged dots evoking information transfer (shaped like a long fish's tail, perhaps). Edited by Constance Crompton, Laura Estill, Richard J. Lane, and Ray Siemens

Out now!

The Routledge Companion to Digital Humanities, ed. Constance Crompton, @raysiemens.bsky.social , Richard J. Lane, and myself

An honor to be a part of the Colloque CRIHN 2025 en l’honneur de Stéfan Sinclair. A warm welcome from Dean
Frédéric Bouchard and Michael Sinatra. Now a great talk by Servanne Monjour on the death of digital literature and the archive.

On my way back from #DH2025 to Montreal with some merch, thanks to @clsinfra.bsky.social!

(Please no comment on my general appearance and tired eyes, I got to the airport around 5am...)

I was really impressed by the state of computational literary studies in Europe!

Meeting quite a few people at #DH2025, I didn't realise how large a DH conference could be!

I'll be presenting a poster on Cybermeneutic, my ongoing project that is both a tool for augmented reading and my study of Philip K. Dick's corpus!

Thank you, @ach.bsky.social #ACH2025 team & to everyone that participated in sessions this week to come together in a time where we need community more than, perhaps, ever! And thank you @audinyann.bsky.social for capturing the pure joy of the Work Adventure dance party! #ACH2025

Happy to be part of the @ach.bsky.social dance party on this third and last day of #ach2025 ! Thanks everyone and see you next year!

Thank you Laura, it was great seeing you!!!

Happy, shocked and grateful!

I didn't get to meet Ian Lancashire, but his wife Anne and his former students all confirmed our shared love of Philip K. Dick and humanities computing.

Oh no! Why would you put that possibility into my head!! 😂

I have four of these (Newton, Emily Dickinson, Descartes and Galileo) and still have a relationship! (Good luck anyway!)

This is literally the cause of the fall of the Galactic Empire in Asimov's Foundation. Who is ready for a 30 000 years-long Dark Age?

What does that even mean?!? 🤣

That is very handy!

Thanks, mine showrd up as "Blocked".

Who was it? (I'm not even part of this conversation, and still I was blocked???)

I thought it originated in video games (real time -vs- turn- based strategy), but it seems to actually be about the shift in 1940s computing to simulations that run as fast as the real world.

Colleges, universities, and secondary institutions all across the world are defunding Humanities programs. It’s up to us to continue the conversation that they are just as vital to our lives as any other program. Humanities are part of who we are. In fact, it is all we are.

Do you remember when I told you that your institutional repository was on a list for a future purge? And to save copies of everything in multiple places? It's time you prioritized that. Now.

Early bird registration closes April 4th at noon (Eastern Time = Montreal time)

""We were given a prompt as an invitation to participate in this newsletter: “How are you using AI in the classroom?” While we have accepted this invitation, we are engaging in the most humanistic act we can imagine—refusing the prompt." 😈

Our published work in a government journal curiously disappeared Several studies for a CDC journal were purged without explanation before a judge’s order restored them. That's unacceptable.

Melissa and I wrote about our research being purged... www.minnpost.com/community-vo...
