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!

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.

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?

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.

This is the literal destruction of knowledge.

Mississippi libraries are being ordered to remove academic research on race and gender from library databases.

Mississippi libraries ordered to delete academic research in response to state laws - Mississippi Today
The two research collections state officials ordered for deletion included material from professional journals, conference papers, books, student dissertations, periodicals and newspaper articles.

REFLECTIONS ON AI IN THE CLASSROOM: How We are Not Using Al in the Classroom By Sonja Drimmer & Christopher J. Nygren Premise Prompt engineering is a term that has become commonplace since the widespread availability of generative Al applications like ChatGPT. The idea is that the outputs of the large language models (LLMs) on which these applications are based are only as good as the prompts that are input: vague prompts result in equally vague outputs. And thus was born the race to train for careers in prompt engineering. Unfortunately, the bubble seems to have burst before even the first generation of students was trained for this career outcome. We were given a prompt as an invitation to participate in this newsletter: "How are you using Al in the classroom?" While we have accepted this invitation, we are engaging in the most humanistic act we can imagine—refusing the prompt.”

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