And, with this move, my time at uGuelph has (sadly) come to an end (for now). Huge thanks to @susanbrown.bsky.social @antimony27.bsky.social and @paulbarrett1.bsky.social who guided me through the PhD to my first postdoc as the Michael Ridley Postdoc in #DH. Guelph has been such a supportive place

Audre Lorde Says “Revolution Is Not A One Time Event”:

Resisting Digital Muzzles To Enact Revolutionary Change

Abstract: Technology-facilitated gender-based violence has long been an issue. It has made it extremely difficult for journalists, activists, and at this current moment in time — educators. In our current political climate, we are reminded daily of the dangers of not being silent, prioritizing the needs of those in crisis, protecting our students, colleagues, and loved ones against digital harm, and standing up for what is right. Digital humanities has the potential to do all of these things, but are we ready to take the lead? Audre Lorde reminds us all that our silence will NOT protect us. So, how will we use what we know to enact revolutionary change? How will we resist the violence in digital spaces that materializes and manifests in our offline lives? This is a clarion call to all digital humanities scholars, students, librarians, and professors to reset, resist, and revolutionize the field in order to revolutionize the world.
