We’re rolling out the new user registration/Editor-at-Large user management plugin (developed by one of our managing editors, Amanda Regan) this week. This post will serve as an introduction to its new features, and a brief instruction manual for both new users and existing Editors-at-Large. We welcome any feedback you might have after you’ve experienced this new process—our […]
“What oft was thought but ne’er so well express’d” Alexander Pope’s eighteenth century advice to writers — now known as content producers — has a new relevance for the Internet Age, although in the discussion that follows, a more exact phrasing match might be, “It’s already a meme, but (driven by FOMO) I need to […]
The analysis I’m sharing today is a follow up to my earlier work on feminist manifestos, an effort to stretch the genre of manifesto to incorporate a play written by a women’s liberation group and a broadsheet created for the Feminist Studio Workshop.

You can read about the beginning of the controversy in this article the Chronicle of Higher Education posted on Friday. The ensuing tweetstorm followed a fairly typical trajectory […]

Using the #DHannotates hashtag, we’re encouraging digital humanists to annotate tutorials, documentation, and other DHy webpages as an easy way of improving these resources for the whole community.
