#ASECS24 continued on DH sustainability: we cannot rely on dissertation works as a main source of labor. How can we better link data across projects? Shoutouts to @EndingsProject https://endings.uvic.ca/
#ASECS24 more discussion on sustainability of #digitalHumanities projects: institutions need to recognize digital work as valid output when faculty are up for promotion & tenure. Building a database, leading a project, should count as scholarly work like an article or book.
#ASECS24 For the latter (sustaining existing DH projects past planning, implementation grants), some possible responses: UK projects become charities legible for local historical grants: collaboration/consortiums such as @CWRCproject (https://cwrc.ca/ @LEAF_VRE
#ASECS24 some QA highlights: can we find a better term than "messy data", which can postpone projects sharing their findings? How do we sustain digital projects when so much is focused on the new shiny?
#ASECS24 rounding out of presentation portion of the panel, Katherine BINHAMMER & Isobel GRUNDY (@UAlberta) reflect on 30 yrs @Orlando_Project “Orlando’s Collaborative Model: History, Successes, and Challenges" https://cwrc.ca/Orlando Podcast link:...

Join us now at the virtual Doctor Is In session! #asecs2024 #asecs24
#ASECS24 this time slot has so many amazing panels happening at once but I went with my heart (and after getting a bit lost) am at the memorial panel for George Haggerty. Images of his wonderful work
#ASECS24 sadly @ProfAliceV was not able to attend to speak on "White Fragility Among Austen Fans” (maybe we could hear it somewhere like @virtualjanecon?) but we do have William Donaldson on" Digitizing the Classical Music of the Highland Bagpipe: How and Why".

#ASECS24 something I hadn't thought of (despite a student & mom founding a faculty watch list while I was a grad at UCSD): publishing our syllabi can be used a means of surveillance. I've mainly seen it (when consensually provided) a form of accessibility, knowledge sharing.
#ASECS24 I was done tweeting but then the second @ASECSWomen panel "Teaching in States of Surveillance" is doing something I want to become a common practice at panela: communal notes to create shared resources, especially at panels dealing with the profession.
