DHNow Newsletter, January 28, 2026

This issue was curated by Colleen Nugent McLean, DHNow Project Manager and Samya Brata Roy, DHNow Guest Editor.

In our first Editors’ Choice, the author encourages debates over large language models (LLMs) to move past the question of their ability “to think.” The second selection considers the experience of incarcerated students in order to develop strategies for digital literacy. Our third selection identifies how DH is often undervalued in India, and proposes a new framework that would consider a wider breadth of scholarship. We have included various CFPs, reports on open data and metadata, and teaching resources on machine learning.
