As #AAS2021 comes to "close," let me say that this virtual conference was an incredible feat of organizing. You'll never be able to satisfy everyone because our needs & preferences are so different, but the interface was smooth, glitches minimal, & staff responsive. Bravo! ππ
Incredibly grateful for the Japanese scholars who are awake at 4 am JST (!!) to be in the chat for their #AAS2021 panel: Towards Data Sharing, Integration, and Multi-proxy Collaboration in Historical Studies: New Insights and Future Challenges in Japan! π» #DHJPN #DH
Oops, a little late now (I got distracted by the dedicated kuzushiji group that still did a session today!) but premodern Japan sessions on this last day of #AAS2021 are:
Last day of #AAS2021! Making some fresh coffee and then hopping into the virtual lounge for a bit in 10 minutes for those who want to say hi! β
Ah yes, the panoptic nightmare of getting Facebook friend recommendations based on an #AAS2021 hallway video chat. π
Going to have a bit of a morning hang in the virtual lounge if anyone wants to drop in floor 5 and say hello! π #AAS2021
My #AAS2021 mission this week has been to drop good vibes into the discussion chat whenever I'm listening because it feels like a faceless void. β¨ Wish we could see how many viewers were "in" the panel at the same time!
Good morning, #AAS2021 fam! This morning in premodern Japan research, lots on early modern and early 20th century diets! π Followed by the EMJ Net meeting at 10am. Full schedule here: docs.google.com/document/d/1KAfpiglOd4co...
Something tells me Iβve been too busy with #AAS2021 to pay attention to the truly important things. ππ¦ #AASpets
PHEW. I am completely blown away by the Digital Humanities Japan turnout tonight! ~33 people at the meeting-in-conjunction, and pretty much all of them stayed the full 2 hours and then some! π± MY PEOPLE! Thank you so much!! I hope we can meet up again soon!! π» #AAS2021 #DHJPN
To be fair peak "treating #AAS2021 like any other conference" is feeling tired during a panel and leaving halfway through to hang out in the lounge.
This virtual lounge thing is super weird but I might hang around on it for a little bit? #AAS2021
Listening to this excellent #AAS2021 panel on digital projects and traditional Japanese performance organized by @LimBengChoo2 and having visceral flashbacks to learning noh in college. π³
This morning in #AAS2021 premodern Japan papers: blindness & disability in medieval Buddhist lit & Edo medical texts; performance & digital media; dragons, rain & kingship in medieval Japan; & more! π See the full schedule of premodern Japan talks here:...
Rude of the #AAS2021 "around the world" photo scavenger hunt to make me take a hard look at my life like that. π³π€£
#AAS2021 video chat session not as engaging for the #AASpets menagerie when the window is open for the spring sunshine. πΎβοΈ
This morning in premodern Japanese Studies at #AAS2021, bright and early we've got ancient history and archaeology βοΈ as well as data visualizations on the Edo period! π» #Japan #DHJPN docs.google.com/document/d/1KAfpiglOd4co...
Finished out the day listening to @KaitlynUgoretz's fantastic digital technology lightning talk. π» Highly recommend watching to learn about these online tools from an expert even if you're not doing digital fieldwork! Lots of applications for research and teaching. #AAS2021
