We’re thrilled to share that we’ve received a Digital Humanities Advancement Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) for Project Ballyhoo, which studies the reach and effect of movie publicity in the 20th century by using computational methods to explore the re-use and circulation of text and images from Hollywood pressbooks throughout newspapers across the United States. The project uses pressbooks from the @mhdl and the Chronicling America collection from the Library of Congress to analyze these artifacts of film history at scale.

Thrilled to announce that
@Sarah_Florini, @drericaoneil, and I have been funded through the NEH ODH "Dangers & Opportunities of Tech" program to collab with our colleagues at the Online Content Creators Association to co-create community-based ways of understanding algorithmic governance!

This project & collaboration with content creators was dreamed up in March 2020, and this funding means we'll have the opportunity to co-create knowledge in/with community. 💫
