Digital Humanities Australaisa '25

DHA25 is upon us. So is the annual meeting of the Canadian Australian Partnership for Open Scholarship. I have had great fun putting the conference together as a member of the aaDH Executive and conference organising committee. I will be giving quite a few presentations at the conference. I’ve collected all the slides here where I’m first author:

Tuesday 2nd December, at the CAPOS meeting

I’m presenting my research on the Abstract Wikipedia project: Wikilambda the Ultimate.

I’m giving a short reflection on the question, What would it take for AI to be open? (I’m greatly inspired by the Swiss AI project.)

Wednesday the 3rd, at DHA25 Day 1

I’m presenting with Nick Thieberger and Peter Sefton on ROCrate for a data commons. I’m there mostly for my work on the OHRM Upload Project.

Thursday the 4th, at DHA Day 2

I’m running a Critical Code Studies workshop with the Anticodians, where we will close-read Peter Norvig’s lis.py essay (here’s the original). To kick things off, I will give a lightning talk on Scheme and its Ideologies.

In the afternoon, I will present some of the work that Niles Zhao and I have done on the homo calculans project. Here are the slides.

Friday the 5th, at DHA Day 3

I’m not presenting. (Phew!) But I’ll be chairing a panel with Finn Morgan and Claire Loughnane, my colleagues from Melbourne, and Francesca Sidoti, my colleague on the wikihistories project.
