Women are just less ambitious?
It’s what male professors truly believe apparently.
This paper is an absolute must read read!

The #TeXLaTeX Ninja is back:
Is Distant Viewing a Scam?!
Distant Viewing, the application of computer vision methods to Humanities data in the spirit of Distant Reading, is a well established part of Computational Humanities. But is it a scam?

New paper out: "*Beyond* Data Feminism" ( @sarahalang and Elena Suarez Cronauer, my emphasis) in the hopes of making more people realize that it potentially applies to them. Too many (mostly male presumably) researchers assume it does not to them even when they are ready to "forward it to my […]
The "thinking in English" is the key issue here. If one truly needs a text to be translated into English, where would one suddenly find the skills to "think in English"? That's not how it works...
However, I do find it helpful to run my English through AI to get rid of some Germanisms..

It feels weird for me to say that because we're still Western, European and native speakers of a dominant language (& got criticized that we mostly speak to our European issues). I don't think native speakers of English are aware of the struggles to get accepted into Anglophone academic spaces. 4/
All my work is in English. I hope to have more or less mastered English and the Anglophone way of academic writing enough to get accepted into journals (which is a massive problem when you don't hit the language nuances and disciplinary expectations exactly)... language discrimination is real 3/
It continues "I am sure that the text is better understandable in German & would be better understandable if it had been written in English directly."
hope it's ok to share this sentence since it's just a brief snippet & not identifiable.
I don't even know how to speak eloquent German anymore. 2/
I am a bit late to the party (apparently I don't get the emails directly. I can see how the sentence is infuriating. I'm less pissed about it but baffled about how weirdly specific it is: "the text is a translation of a text written in German & that AI has been used to translate it."

Mit KI laufen wir in die "Methodenfalle" und fragen nicht mehr: "Was ist mein Erkenntnisinteresse und welche Methode kann ich dafür nutzen?", sondern "was könnte ich denn mal noch mit KI machen?" – deutlich gemacht in der Diksussion im KI-Panel von @dmaus auf der #DHd2026
Es geht weiter mit automatisierter Pflanzenbestimmung in Herbarien des 16. Jh. - 18. Jh. Thomas Mandl zeigt die Unterschiede zwischen Grafik und Fotografie. #dhd2026
Stand der DH
Sind wir alle Komplizen des Niederganges der (traditionellen) Geisteswissenschaften?

#DataFeminism appeared in 2020.
How come it’s still not established in #DigitalHumanities?
Interest seems to have died down 😕
We provide an overview of its principles tailored to #DH in our working paper ⬇️

Matt Wilkens on the end of DH:
"The steady state of DH, which I once believed was to be fully
subsumed within the humanities, now looks much more likely to involve the diffusion of humanistic knowledge into disciplines...constitutively quantitative and computational" academic.oup.com/alh/article-...
This is some version of what @tedunderwood.com described back in 2017 with "DH as a Semi-Normal Thing"—after a few decades of DH seminars in grad school, DH centers at major unis, &c. there are far more people who can engage with DH methods without DH being central to their professional identity
Relatedly, I feel that those of us in very DH-aligned fields like digital archives and collections seem to be totally excluded from these "state of the field"s, even though even the narrowest definition of "computational approaches to humanities data" describes what I do pretty well
It also must be said out loud: it's not a coincidence that the projects above are led by women, nonbinary folks, and people of color, and they are not *still* recognized by some as DH. 6/
Oh, but by DH you meant only quantitative work? I direct you to The Discourse ca. 2012. DH does not only mean computation. It never has. In fact, it was the people who rejected this assertion way back then who left the field 5/

What about impact, you ask? I raise you SUCHO, DEFCON, the Colored Conventions Project. These are major and enduring interventions, with impact in communities and entire countries. They are actually changing lives 4/
It seems to me that defining DH as purely quantitative methods is a neat way of shaving off all the hard-fought interventions made by people who were interested in making the field reflect the diversity and complexity of the actual world.
