about to lead a session and give a paper on rethinking solidarities among displaced academics and intellectuals in time of crisis, apart from the relations of (national) profit and capital via which they are currently being thought. No session number because it’s a just in time session (sparked by current affairs=since the CFP went out a year ago.) Grounded in but not about my area of expertise. Very nervous. #mla26

DHSI panel at #mla26 is showing a glimpse not just of the course contents, but how each of us (instructors) engage the humanities and the digital. Here is Liz Losh on feminist DH and MEAL: Feminist Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning:

Susan Brown tells about the semantic web as an intervention against « platform capitalism » , showing Tim Berners-Lee’s 5 stars of Linked Open Data, here at the DHSI panel at #mla26

Ready to go for the MLA Conference Session 1 tomorrow morning in Toronto! #mla26 I'm part of the DHSI workshop panel, and I'm talking about our DHSI Week 2 course for June 2026. This is also WHY we care about processing TEI / XML markup in the age of AI, too. Web slides:

Y’all I was booking my travel for #mla26 & saw that right there in downtown Toronto—a very quick taxi ride from the convention center—is a Medieval Times & now I’m just picturing a whole contingent of language & lit scholars in their black outfits hoisting turkey legs & I really want this to happen
