Tomorrow marks the start of our 7th weeklong podcasting institute in partnership with @natlhumanities 🎙️. Since 2019 we've collaborated to train nearly 400 humanities/ humanistic social science graduate students and faculty in public-facing digital storytelling and #DigitalHumanities.

Our week together imagines new possibilities for engaging in the humanities and the academy. Using adrienne maree brown's Emergent Strategy as our starting point, we encourage participants to center kindness and generosity as they collaborate with strangers to make a podcast in 4 days (most without prior experience). We emphasize process over product, creating a safe space for experimentation (there are no failures!), and letting go of perfection. And we center care for ourselves and each other as the foundation of trust.

Each of these virtual institutes is exhausting and exhilarating. I can't wait to meet our 74 grad student participants and see/hear the amazing things they do!

Very excited to see so many #dh #digitalhumanities folks switching fully over to or taking renewed interest in Mastodon! Like many, I switched over just a month or so ago, but I was already pretty much done with other social media platforms even before Elon's purchase of Twitter. What I like so far on M is the absence of ads/curatorial algorithm, as well as the vibe of conversation over broadcasting and engagement over trolling. I hope we can maintain and augment these aspects of the site.

I am increasingly convinced that #DigitalHumanities cannot and should not be operated as a service—of the library or any other unit. We should not be hiring people to help others do #DH. We should hire people to do #DH themselves. Those people should be faculty, yes, but also librarians, archivists, developers, designers, and managers. And they should be empowered to range the campus to build teams of their own making to work on ideas of their own devising.

Putting people in service to others’ work doesn’t scale, isn’t sustainable, and, most importantly, produces bad work. When administrators (especially library directors) recruit a “digital scholarship librarian” or similar to support digital humanities on their campuses, they’re setting them up to fail. @dh
