A directory of digital scholarship in music (AKA Music DH) was recently updated through 2023 (ya, a few months behind). Special thanks to the MLA core team of Bonnie Finn, Kerry Masteller, Amelyn Enriques, and public history intern Joseph Goeller. Please bookmark/share for all your #digitalmusicology #digitalhumanities needs! 🎶 https://rutgersdh.github.io/musicdh/

Our #CriticalAI #CriticalAILiteracy in a Time of Chatbots: A Public Symposium for Educators, Writers, and Citizens Event from Friday October 6, 2023 is
now available as a video archive, all accessible at the link below and in the following 🧵:

For fuck's sake, just hire people, they're cheaper

Not sure how many folks in the PA-NJ-NY area follow me, but here goes. I'm co-organizing an event on open #humanities on Oct 30 with excellent speakers: Nicky Agate (CMU Libraries, HuMetricsHSS Initiative), Kath Burton (Routledge | Taylor & Francis), Jen Grayburn (Princeton University Library), and Laura McGrath (Temple University, Post45 Data Collective). Join us at Rutgers–New Brunswick. There will be lunch! https://libcal.rutgers.edu/event/11326499

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

Why why why do students put so much faith in the cloud? Shakes fist at Google after I get locked out because of "too many failed attempts" to access a doc with codes that arrived in my inbox 20 minutes late. HARUMPH, I say.

We've put up the slides + code from this year's Princeton #Sociology Methods Camp: https://pusocmethodscamp.org/

This set our students up to use #rstats in our intro grad stats sequence.

I'm most proud about:
👏 Teaching students to use #chatGPT as a research tool
👏 Incorporating #Quarto and the visual editor for new R users
👏 Teaching w live coding (and my exercises to explicitly teach debugging!)
👏 Generating fake data for releasing materials openly

Please use & share these materials openly!

This is a fantastic publication for anyone working, or interested to work with historical newspaper data. Created by former colleague Yann Ryan, "this book is a guide to accessing and analysing newspaper data, mostly using the programming language R." :blobcatbook:

I suspect a lot of digital humanists have ended up teaching AI-related stuff, organizing events, and sorting out policies this fall. Maybe it'd be nice to figure out all this stuff together? ACH working group proposal on DH + AI here; add yourself & your ideas if you'd like!

My library is hiring 4 Rutgers–New Brunswick graduate students to teach workshops and provide consultations in the areas of #digitalhumanities, #DataScience, #qualitative methods, and evidence synthesis. See job descriptions and instructions on how to apply at https://dh.rutgers.edu/f23-graduate-specialist-positions/. I am happy to take questions, since I am the coordinator of this program. Please share!

As @miriamkp once memorably put it, "It's just awful trying to find a humanities dataset." So here are some, available as an R package, which I used to teach Data and Culture with @mlmcgill last fall:

@claudiaeberger @bestqualitycrab I returned to a tree project today that has been on my list for a while. Print to canvas of some generative art using Danielle Navarro's flametree #rstats package

@bestqualitycrab@mastodon.social @bestqualitycrab This is gorgeous. Thank you!

@jo_frankie @bestqualitycrab@mstdn.social The other tree project in Australia that I wanted to draw your attention to is the Arve 3D virtual tree in Tasmania - one of the word's tallest trees that was lost in a 2019 bushfire. It has now been recreated as a virtual experience. Its quite breathtaking...https://www.petermorse.com.au/2020/08/visualising-modelling-trees/

@nxskok @kjhealy Yellow is older? or newer?

@claudiaeberger @bestqualitycrab I am such a fan of trees! 😂

I learned that the Melbourne trees have emails from Deb Verhoeven (@bestqualitycrab on the bird site) during #ACH2023. I keep thinking about it. I've noticed that a lot of the trees in New Brunswick, NJ, have QR codes. Surely there's a project to be done here!

@elotroalex nice. Looking forward to checking it out! Courage pour le livre 🤜
