The October issue of Reviews in Digital Humanities is live. Catch Part II of "Race, Health & Medicine," guest edited by @BlackDigitalHum & @KirstenOstherr #ReviewsinDH reviewsindh.pubpub.org/v3-n10
.@jenguiliano & I are also pleased to announce our editorial board reorg. Miranda Hughes, formerly our editorial assistant, has been promoted to Associate Editor, in charge of production. #ReviewsInDH
Tieanna Graphenreed starts this week, as Managing Editor for our open submission workflow. Stacy Reardon will start in January as Managing Editor for our special issue and partnership workflows. #ReviewsInDH
We had nearly 100 applicants for Managing Editor and, in anticipation of our workload next year, decided to bring on two. We hope to have more paid opportunities to work with us in 2023, so please stay tuned. #ReviewsInDH
In the interests of transparency, the Associate & Managing Editor positions are paid out of my start-up budget at Dartmouth, though we are working on long-term plans to secure a financial future for the journal that doesn't rely on an single individual/institution. #ReviewsInDH
In our issue this week, don't miss:
* a brilliant guest editors' note by @BlackDigitalHum & @KirstenOstherr outlining a vision for digital humanities that engages with race and health. #ReviewsInDH reviewsindh.pubpub.org/pub/editors-no…
* Black Health and the Humanities (@BHHproject) , interdisciplinary training workshops exploring Black health, directed by @josiecgill and @lascelles_dr and reviewed by @NelsonHistorian #ReviewsInDH reviewsindh.pubpub.org/pub/black-heal…
* I'm Still Surviving, an interactive digital exhibition featuring oral histories of women living with HIV/AIDS, directed by @historymoves and Matt Wizinsky and reviewed by Dan Royles #ReviewsInDH reviewsindh.pubpub.org/pub/im-still-s…
* Race | Medicine | Democracy Lab, a digital humanities project exploring access and care beyond hospital systems, led by @LanAngelaLi, @riconuila, @FadyJoudah, @piercesalguero, and their team and reviewed by @AmeliaNGibson #ReviewsinDH reviewsindh.pubpub.org/pub/medicine-r…
* Visualizing the Virus (@making_vvisible), a digital project exploring COVID-19, directed by @pocoeco_s and @EllenAmbrosone #ReviewsInDH reviewsindh.pubpub.org/pub/visualizin…

Thanks, as always to @jenguiliano who specializes in #ReviewsInDH special issues and does an awesome job with them. And thank you to now-Associate Editor Miranda Hughes for her careful work on production with me.

I have heard tell of an apocryphal tale: that my sister will not wait in line to get into a luxury store but goes up to the door and says, “I don’t wait in queues.” Reader: I got to see this happen — and work — at Gucci 🤣
We are all vaguely confused about how we both came from the same parents, thus more fodder for the Welsh nationalist milkman theory of my parentage. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
Current status: at Burberry having been given champagne because this is how my sister rolls 🤣 Silver tray with water and ...

The MLA guidelines are out! Two years of work with brilliant collaborators, reading and thinking and debating. A few observations below. mla.org/Guidelines-Pub…
Guidelines are fine and well but if no one does anything with them, then we wasted two years of our lives. In part, #ReviewsInDH exists because so many wonderful orgs put out digital humanities evaluation guidelines and *crickets.* Let’s not do that again.
How do we do that? I saw a great example in a (non-confidential) letter from my first tenure case, where a letter writer went systematically through the MLA digital humanities guidelines and evaluated my work by them. Genius. You can do that for public humanities!

How horrifying that Inside Higher Ed is platforming an anonymous essay that appropriates redlining for a strawperson argument about the oppression of white faculty. (That begins, no less, with the academic equivalent of "my best friend is Black.") insidehighered.com/views/2022/08/…
Here's the thing: no one is out here challenging the commitment of colleagues with careers dedicated to areas of scholarship that don't align with their identities. The key words here are "careers dedicated to."
I know, firsthand, what it's like to work in an area that isn't aligned with your identity. There's work to do. There are relationships to build. There are ethics. There are right ways to do it. But it's about commitment and accountability.

👇🏾 Academic dishonesty and fraud are completely legitimate reasons to terminate a tenured faculty member.
When you are a faculty member of color, your identity means so much to your students. I had a student I’ve mentored for 3 years tell me today how exciting it was for her to see an energetic brown woman in a sea of white at one of her first events in our department.
I’m directing an honors thesis this fall for another student, in part because I’m the right person for the topic, in part because I’ve been supportive to her and she wanted to work with a faculty member of color and trusted me.

Thank you, @annetiquate & @caitduffy49 for the opportunity to speak today and to all of you who are participating. I'll be talking about the role of Twitter and social media in humanities knowledge production and how they've influenced my work. #HCTwitterConf19
I often say I owe my entire career to Twitter. And that's true - though I'm super conscious of my reliance on a third-party platform with a dubious track record on social justice. #HCTwitterConf19
Twitter has been a space of connection and intellectual community that I've never been able to find consistently anywhere else - ever. #HCTwitterConf19
