Don't forget to nominate #DigitalHumanities resources for the annual #DH Awards!

They don't make it onto the ballot unless you do! Consider nominating with diversity in mind!

Self-nomination is fine, but consider also nominating something else in another category!

Weil ich selbst nur schlechte KI-Bilder machen kann, folgt eine Stellenausschreibung: Ab 1. Mai 2025 suche ich für 4 weitere Jahre #Briefedition #ArthurSchnitzler eine Kollegin, einen Kollegen (30h/Woche, prae-Doc). Arbeitsort: Wien. Details: www.oeaw.ac.at/acdh/institu...

#LitWiss #jobs

Ein furchtbares Bild, eine KI-Grafik, auf der ein Mann auf einen zeigt und We Want You sagt und daneben steht "Arshur Arthur Schnitzler" und es schaut natürlich gar nicht aus wie Schnitzler. Aber mehr Zeit will ich mit der Spielerei auch nicht verbringen
