Jan Rybicki and Maciej Eder deserve credit for a lovely conference.<\/p>\n<p>My <a href=\"http:\/\/philosophi.ca\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/DH2016\">conference notes are on philosophi.ca<\/a>\u00a0so I won&#8217;t go into a lot of detail here. Some of the themes worth noting include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Diversity. There was a lot of discussion and sessions dedicated to diversity of different sorts. Real differences were aired that I think most people felt was good.<\/li>\n<li>Pedagogy. Perhaps it is what I attended, but it seemed that there was a new energy around pedagogical discussions. I was impressed by the creative approaches and also by the large-scale projects like Dariah-EU working group on Training and Education.<\/li>\n<li>Web Historiography. There were a number of talks\/panels that drew on the web as evidence. I was pleased to see a discussion of the need to think historiographically about the web. What is archived? What is missing?<\/li>\n<li>Posters. There was a great set of posters. Here is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/geoffreyrockwell\/albums\/72157668340588253\">link to photos I took of a selection<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some of the events and papers I was involved in include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>New Scholars Symposium which was supported by CHCI and centerNet. I co-organized this with Rachel Hendry.<\/li>\n<li>Innovations in Digital Humanities Pedagogy: Local, National, and International Training. I was part of a one day mini-conference on training and gave a short presentation on Visualization at the final panel on Publication Approaches Supporting DH Pedagogy.<\/li>\n<li>CWRC &amp; Voyant Tools: Text Repository Meets Text Analysis. I was one of three instructors on a workshop on CWRC and Voyant.<\/li>\n<li>Curating Just-In-Time Datasets from the Web. I gave a paper on a project that is scraping Twitter\u00a0that was coauthored with Todd Suomela and Ryan Chartier.<\/li>\n<li>The Trace of Theory: Extracting Subsets from Large Collections. I introduced and gave one of the short papers on a panel of work we did as part of the Text Mining the Novel project with the HathiTrust Research Center.<\/li>\n<li>Web Historiography &#8211; A New Challenge for Digital Humanities? I gave a short presentation on the Ethics of Scraping Twitter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The week of the 11th tot he 16th of July was Digital Humanities 2016 in Krak\u00f3w.
