On the @AK_GWDS blog, my paper "Why History in Digital Games matters: Historical Authenticity as a Language for Ideological Myths" has just been published online. The text was originally from the anthology "History in Games" edited by Felix Zimmermann and Martin Lorber.

@quinnanya did you make this spinning wheel? Do you have plans so that others (like me) could make one?

Really enjoying #ACH2023 Session #6B: Perspectives on Critical Pedagogy I. Such a lovely range of presentations on inclusive pedagogy (at scale!), minimal computing, and consortial social justice pedagogy

Any DH people out there who can recommend interesting DH/cultural heritage projects ongoing or recently completed? 
I’m planning my autumn courses in cultural heritage and any leads appreciated! Esp appreciate tips on research outside of Europe or addressing non-western subjects

Post this week is sharing a Zotero collection I’ve been working on of publicly availably DH recordings/podcasts/videos that I use to fill in the cracks of the day. Very much still a work in progress, but hopefully it will be useful to someone. It’s called “Resources for the Digital Humanist on the Go” and uses BibBase to embed the collection in the post. Let me know if you have links that I should check out - always looking for more.

Thanks to @quinnanya for an amazing Keynote address on "Seriously Fun: Building Resilience through Play in DH Praxis" at our Carleton College #DayofDH23cc

We hope to share a video of the talk soon, but in the meantime enjoy Rebecca Moss's amazing sketchnotes version tumblr.com/sketchnotesbyramoss
