The em dash becoming a signifier of ChatGPT generated text has been a shot through the heart for people who sometimes need to shake up a comma heavy sentence and those who feel pretty sure they know when to use a semicolon but generally still steer clear of it just in case

Much of our last day at #wcgsc2023 was spent grappling with questions of ownership, authorship, and — ultimately — (critical) care and custodianship when it comes to finding and engaging with different archives as historians. Such a rich time with colleagues (old & new❤️).

The Western Cape Graduate Students’s Conference cohort for 2023! @mr_uledy @bea_visser @ysi_commons

[Elizabeth Visser @bea_visser]

Day one, done! ✅ From research on labour flows, legal systems, and political figures to histories of ideas, objects, and infrastructures…today has been a wonderful example of the incredible (!!!) breadth and texture of historical studies happening in our backyard. #wcgsc2023

[Mia Uys @UysMia]
