How can digital-humanities-driven “big data” history be made more useful for collaborative historical research? Drawing on a research program on the history of the Max Planck Society, this talk looks at the structure and dynamics of knowledge networks, the challenges of big data history …

When in the research lifecycle do small interventions yield the largest gains in code, workflow, and research quality? This hands-on workshop combines two initiatives working on that question from different angles — CODECHECK, which independently checks computational workflows as part of peer …

Version control gives researchers a complete history of every change to their code, letting them experiment freely without fear of losing a working version. This beginner-friendly, one-hour virtual workshop demystifies Git and GitHub for researchers who haven’t used them before: a brief …

This is the teaching material for a DH2024 pre-conference workshop on the socio-epistemic networks (SEN) framework for studying the evolution of knowledge over time. It walks through automating data extraction from historical sources, exploring language-based change in historical documents with text …

DH Inside Out was DHTech’s mini-conference at DH2024, flipping the usual conference format to foreground technical depth alongside research context. At the August 5, 2024 session in Arlington, Virginia, I moderated Session 1 and later presented TippingPigs — Serious games as communication …
