This self-assessment tool is intended to support Digital Humanities practitioners, researchers, technicians, curators, software engineers, and related professionals seeking to embed environmental sustainability into their project design, delivery, and reporting. In line with the EPSRC AREA framework for responsible research and innovation, the Digital Humanities Climate Coalition recommends using the tool to reflect on how […]
The Timeline of African American Music represents decades of scholarship conducted and led by Dr. Portia K. Maultsby, a pioneer in the study of African American music, as well as the contributions of numerous scholars. From the earliest folk traditions to present-day popular music, the timeline is a detailed view of the evolution of African […]
This workshop guides humanities scholars through the emerging landscape of agentic coding—building functional tools and applications through collaboration with AI, rather than writing code from scratch. We begin with Claude Artifacts for rapid prototyping and Claude Code Web for browser-based development, then transition to the Claude Code CLI for the remainder of the week. Participants […]
Recently, I’ve had a number of students wrestling with the challenges of scoping a field, pulling together a literature review, and trying to determine how different pieces might be in conversation with each other. I used to sometimes sit students down with Ed Summer’s old ‘Etudier’ package which was great; but Google Scholar doesn’t really […]
This site is notes and drafts that may someday become a Handbook of Data Visualization with Textiles. I have taught a class by that name at Stanford every spring since 2023. It began as a funder mandate: in exchange for internal grant money to pay for student staff and supplies, we were encouraged to offer […]
HathiTrust will cease funding and data sharing with the HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) at the end of 2026, at which time the Center will be formally closed. Users will still be able to search and use the HathiTrust Digital Library site, with reading and download access continuing as before for material in the public domain […]
In this post, I used Claude Code to extract all 651 papers written by AI Agents at the Social Catalyst Lab’s APE project. These papers were fully automated with no human guidance. They are program evaluation papers, meaning they estimate causal effects with real data using R scripts and modern econometric methods. Additionally, they are […]
So much of our nation’s contentious history is hidden in plain sight. Consider, for instance, how we routinely pass by houses, buildings, and sites whose complex and controversial histories we are unaware of. The Layered Memories: History in One Square Block project excavates these everyday histories by using what I call lieux de souvenir analysis. […]
Large language models (LLMs) offer new opportunities to study human behavior, yet their rapidly evolving nature poses challenges for research rigor. GUIDE-LLM provides a consensus-based reporting checklist to improve transparency, reproducibility, and ethical accountability across behavioral and social science research. In particular, GUIDE-LLM supports researchers in clearly describing how LLMs were used, why specific methodological […]
Remove bleed-through from medieval manuscript scans. Translucens separates ink show-through from recto/verso folio scans, combining guided-filter estimation, NMF source separation, and Wiener deconvolution into a single browser-based tool. See full post.
