If you're looking for hope (🙋♀️) & how we (as a profession, as scholars, as DHers, as laborers) can have impact in an increasingly surveilled techno-state (my words here), absolutely watch this keynote from
@shannonmattern. This is a call to action for us all, and we're being gifted methods for how to undertake the work.

Elisa Beshero-BondarWhat is our responsibility as digital humanists at work in our institutions in these times when our institutions compromise and oppose our efforts to critique the technology we live and work with? Shannon Mattern raises this challenge to us at #dh2024 closing keynote.
@shannonmattern talking now abt how peak hypocrisy = institutions (universities, companies, more) condemning plagiarism while championing adoption of "plagiarism machines" #DH2024
This keynote lecture is so good that I can't really post, I can just be inspired & let the lessons soak in.
@shannonmattern reads an excerpt of Jeffrey Moro's "Against Cop Shit," which I have thought about at least once a week since the beginning of the pandemic & especially since the explosive proliferation of AI following ChatGPT going public

I've been a bit quiet today on socials, but I'm so incredibly excited about the announcement that DH2026 will be held in South Korea. See y'all there (and/or virtually)! #DH2024
Nanette Rissler-Pipka#dh2024 sharing tidbits of the presentations of the session I chaired today: the DH scholar and artist/writer Julia Polyck O'Neil presented thoughts on alternative ways of archiving arts and cultural heritage. Parts of the artistic process, data which is considered today as unimportant or "Junk" can be important to some communities of interest or acknowledge the labour in the background of archiving.
pam lach (she/her)Anita Lucchesi reflecting on how scholars are becoming collectors, but that many (most?) don't learn how to manage those sources, hence Tropy. I recently introduced Tropy to an undergrad doing her first archival research. She was hungry for a way to organize/describe her materials #DH2024
Speaker* in session on "Digital Justice as Disaster Recovery": defining empowerment as "my community deserves respect, and I have the ability to ask for things for my community."
Months ago, I was thinking through how impact should be measured by how we empower the communities we serve. This session gives me hope that we're moving towards this as a profession.
*I feel horrible that I'm not catching names of speakers so that I can cite their insights. If someone caught this, please let me know?
