Interdisciplinarity is fun because it’s something job ads in humanities HE say they want but it often feels like it actively disqualifies you (in the sense of having degrees in, and published in leading journals of, multiple distinct disciplines). Everyone believes you’re not in their discipline.

We’re hiring @bennettschool.cam.ac.uk for a postdoc in geopolitics of AI www.cam.ac.uk/jobs/researc...

I've also been talking about this with colleagues and friends lately. Where do we even draw the line between DH researchers and those using AI in the humanities—if there's a line at all?

New preprint on "Computational Hermeneutics," co-authored by too many people to list in one post. TL;DR: GenAI is a cultural technology, and needs to be evaluated in ways that recognize situatedness, plurality, and ambiguity as the conditions of meaning — not noise to be minimized.

Reminder! Less than a week left to apply for PhD and postdoc positions in Futures of Language — 🔁 for folks interested in the intersection of language, social interaction, and technology

I’m a literary scholar. I teach digital humanities. Last week, I wrote peer reviews for a sociology journal. Tomorrow, I’m headed to a book history conference. Another reason why the “spreadsheet men” framing is unhelpful is that it collapses distinct fields with distinct intellectual traditions.

⚡ CFP: a themed issue in Computational Humanities Research!

Meaning, Form, and History in Computational Poetics: if you work on all things verse, all things form, in any language, consider submitting!
