Discovering Digital Humanities

It was lovely to meet Pepper during #discoveringdigi #discoveringDH

. @VJaynes_ making a point about living data. The life of data in the world. #discoveringdigi #discoveringDH

Hear, hear.

Question: Connections between the three talks? Ethics has been a common thread. #discoveringdigi #discoveringDH

. @j_w_baker pointing out that we're not as a group just about text analysis even though it is a big part of what we do. Other focuses there. #discoveringDH #discoveringdigi

Jack Pay says it is a space free of rigid methods. @liamberriman talks about creating a hackathon. @j_w_baker talking about collaborating with colleagues from history and music to look again at oral histories. #discoveringdigi #discoveringDH

Now we have a round table and questions. Rachel Thomson asking what difference the @SussexHumsLab has made to our speakers work. #discoveringDH

After all these years of people saying 'bootstrapping' and me nodding along and guessing what it might meant in the context of what is being said, my @SussexHumsLab colleague Jack Pay has explained what 'bootstrapping' actually means. Revelatory. #discoveringdh

Lots of reasons! The politics behind searches. #discoveringDH

What's coming up in Jack's talk. #discoveringdigi

Next up is Jack Pay talking about Creating Corpora from the Web:Discovering more of what you want. #discoveringdigi #discoveringDH

. @liamberriman Talked to the children about the archive data being a kind of time travel, talking to the future user. #discoveringdigi #discoveringDH

We're hearing about the considerations researchers must think about with children's data. Co-production - the use of Prezzis to get children to create their own data and work out what they wanted to be public. #discoveringdigi #discoveringDH

. @liamberriman talking about his research into children's lives #discoveringDH #discoveringdigi

Next up is @liamberriman talking about cross-disciplinary conversations and practices : Data and archives across sociology #discoveringdigi #discoveringDH

Now up is @j_w_baker telling us about digital archives and archiving : how and why. #discoveringdigi #discoveringDH

We have a punk ethic in the @sussexreshive. Do don't need to know already. #discoveringdigi #discoveringDH

Rachel Thomson also talking about the potential for early career researchers in phase 2 of the lab. #discoveringdigi #discoveringDH

Sussex is trying to reclaim its tradition of interdisciplinarity. Practice is also a form of research. Theory development is research. We are rethinking the way data can be analysed. #discoveringdigi
