I really enjoyed our panel. Didi's and my paper both explored the characteristics and "usefulness" of fictional and fabricated sources and emphasized that Jewish history is also part of German-American history. Many thanks to @drjanaweiss.bsky.social for providing the comment! #migrationhistory
Watch the AHA’s Congressional Briefing on the history of tariffs on C-SPAN. Panelists @douglasirwin.bsky.social, @sharonannmurphy.bsky.social, & @rauchway.bsky.social discussed how the government has implemented tariffs in the past & how they have impacted the economy. 🗃️
What a fantastic conference! Thanks to @danstein2025.bsky.social and his team for organizing #dgfa2025. And many many thanks to @drjanaweiss.bsky.social for organizing our roundtable on German-American archives which explored the value of ethnic archives and linking different digital collections.
@petertevans.bsky.social sorry you had to miss it! But I am happy that I could at least provide some visual material for you :)
Last up is Torsten Roeder with a talk on "Greening DH" elaborating on DH and its struggle of depending on computers, computing, and infrastructures which, however, is one of the big drivers of climate change. Is DH actually sustainable in itself? #efficiency #sufficiency #consistency #solarcomputing
Followed by @sarahalang.bsky.social's talk on "Empowerment:" DH does not have a gender problem, but an underrepresentation of feminized topics. Feminized labor remains undervalued (in academia). Let's focus more on making labor visible by e.g. recognizing datasheets as valuable research outcomes.
Second day of "Disciplinary Transformations" by @chnunn.bsky.social starts with the "Dark Sides of DH." First up was Alíz Horváth showing us the multilingual transformations of DH over the last few years. We are more multilingual than we think! #multilingualism #multilinguality
#letstalkabouttheory! @tesstess.bsky.social explores how theory has become more visible in DH. BUT, it was never absent. #thingsareinmotion
Christof Schöch kicks off with reflections on 10 years of DHd. Institutionally, DH is a discipline. BUT in practice, it’s more complex.
@chnunn.bsky.social opens our conference „Disciplinary Transformations?“ We will discuss how H have impacted DH. @uniheidelberg.bsky.social
Just a few more days to apply for our conference, "Rebuild or Retreat." Recent events across Europe (record heatwaves, widespread floods) and the U.S. (27 individual weather and climate disasters at least $1 billion in damages in 2024) underscore the urgency of climate migration and mobility. 👇
What’s the relevance of the rule of law in the past and present of democracy?

Lauren Rever, the 2024/2025 @gerda-henkel-stiftung.de Digital History Fellow, recently wrote a post for the @rrchnm.bsky.social news blog reflecting on our March conference on "Real-Time History": rrchnm.org/news/report-...
Poster for the German Historical Institute Washington lecture series "Poverty in the Twentieth Century."
"From the Margins: Poverty in Divided and United Germany," the last lecture in our spring lecture series, "Poverty in the 20th Century," takes place on June 12. We look forward to welcoming Christoph Lorke to share perceptions of poverty in East & West Germany: www.ghi-dc.org/events/event...
Deadline extended to June 8, 2025! The workshop @ghiwashington.bsky.social will bring scholars to discuss the use of audio[visual] sources and the development of innovative methodologies for their study and dissemination. #migrationhistory #digitalhistory
Our event “Resilience and Resistance in Fragile Democracies” is taking place tonight; we’ll be sharing the recording in the future: www.ghi-dc.org/events/event...
I have similar experiences with our interns. They became part of our daily business, our team, leave after three months and I feel like these repetitive good-byes are really heartbreaking.
I'm so excited about the upcoming conference „Disciplinary Transformations?" at @uniheidelberg.bsky.social, (June 12–13) by @chnunn.bsky.social and Natalie Rauscher exploring how the humanities have influenced the DH and its growing body of sub-disciplines: lnkd.in/ebV9jARa #DHTransformations
Time is flying! Last presentation of the day and this workshop 😢 @miriamposner.com gives us a tour through the world of humanities data, capta, demarcation, and classification schemes - asking: What does data demand? #digitalhumanities #categorization
Presenting today with my DC crew from @librarycongress.bsky.social, @smithsonianmag.bsky.social, @ushmm.bsky.social and @ghiwashington.bsky.social on “AI in LAM.” #aiintheloop
And super happy to finally meet @bcgl.bsky.social and @miriamposner.com in person :)
Together with colleagues from GLAM, political science, history, literary and media studies, DH, and more, we are tackling questions about AI, memory, representation, opportunities, failures, vibes, datafication of people, emotions, documentation debts, dimensions of scale, and distant witnessing.
"AI-in-the-loop": truly grateful to be part of this workshop "AI and the Future of Holocaust Research and Memory" - at the @ischool.uw.edu, org. by @bcgl.bsky.social, @toddpresner.bsky.social, UCLA, and Robert Ehrenreich, @ushmm.bsky.social. ischool.uw.edu/events/2025/...
You might want to consider submitting an abstract for our upcoming conference again reading this today: "The States reported the highest figure with 11 million disaster-related movements, nearly a quarter of the global total, mostly the result of major hurricanes that led to mass evacuations".
