The participants of our school have designed a number of graphical abstracts, with just a few glimpses shown here. A creative journey for researchers and future scholars to broaden their skills, discover new ways to visualise their work, and make it more visible and accessible.

We explored how language shifts across gender, style, and register ✍️ With Dr. Marianna Grachova, we learned how Keyfeature analysis reveals the words and structures that make each variety stand out 🔍

What does it mean to ‘stay’ in a place, and how can sound capture that experience? 🎧 Dr. Dominik Kremer and @andreaswagnr.bsky.social guided us through Tracing Qualities of Stay, exploring voice recordings tied to place and presence.

Thank you everyone for coming to the #GermanischeNationalmuseum today (despite some serious train delays and rain). I enjoyed it so much and it makes me miss working as a tour guide #dhss2025 @dhssfau.bsky.social

The excursion to Germanisches Nationalmuseum (who very generously gave our group free admission) is in full swing, with @sabinelang.bsky.social leading the tour. First stop: 14th century sculptures from Nuremberg. #DHSS2025

Today’s keynote is Gavin Brookes on "Corpus linguistics for gender and language research".

One striking example: James Bond’s masculinity is, among other things, constructed through silence (most frequent trigram in the Fleming corpus is "bond said nothing").

Anna Foka giving a brilliant keynote on "AI and Heritage: Critical perspectives on AI for the Archives, Libraries and Museum sector" – and of course, I was especially happy about the opportunity to quickly revive my Swedish reading skills on some of the slides showing ongoing projects ☺️

Anna Foka giving a keynote. The slide concerns "inclusive simulation imaginaries", which are described as socially, ethically, and future focused. An image on the slide depicts an iceberg, saying we're just at the tip
