Hi friends, I'm an open cultural heritage enthusiast/evangelist/freak who tends to talk about open access, copyright, digital museums and all things #openglam 🤗 (but otherwise I’m ok).📍 #Copenhagen

@jonassmith Hullo! There's a good amount of #DigitalHumanities and suchlike stuff on the Fediverse, hope you find yourself at home here :)

New article by @kiru outlines a training course in bibliographic data science, bridging library science, digital humanities, and data science.
It argues that bibliographic data analysis should become a core methodological skill for understanding large-scale cultural and historical patterns.
The piece makes a strong case for structured training programs to close this gap in DH and library education.

Future art historians will need strong hybrid skills—critical theory plus computational methods—to research, curate, and preserve digital and data-driven visual culture.
The University of St Andrews is offering a fully funded PhD scholarship in Digital Art History and Digital-born Art, open to UK, EU, and international students (deadline: 30 March 2026).

My new book is out with Bloomsbury: LiveJournal and Russian Disinformation: The Rise of Epistemic Sabotage. It uses LiveJournal as an early case of how platform affordances were weaponized and develops a framework (“epistemic sabotage”) for knowledge-system destabilization. If you want access without the academic price tag, please request it through your library. https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/livejournal-and-russian-disinformation-9781666954555/ #disinformation #platformstudies #mediastudies #libraries #digitalhumanities #Bookstodon
An inspiring essay from @kiru setting out a potential curriculum for a bibliographic #DataScience training course. "...for those who already have some knowledge in one of the relevant fields (e.g., library science, cultural history, literary sociology, information technology)".

DH Leadership Institute @ Digital Humanities Summer Institute (June 2026 in Montreal)
In these times of austerity and uncertainty, it's even more important to understand leadership and resource allocation for the long-term, especially if you're grappling with technology, including AI, and need to figure out how to create a healthy Digital Humanities ecosystem.
