Since 2021 the Text Analysis Pedagogy Institute has helped 100s & 100s of people learn text analysis in our free and open classes.
Now, @ITHAKA_org@JSTOR and Constellate are announcing the 2023 TAPI: bigger than ever, and still free and open. Join us!

“We’re not doing algebra, we’re doing Python” - thanks to @nkelber at @jstor for the #Constellate text analysis service & useful training sessions. #learning
@Totter87 I highly prefer physical games. They are better for preservation. They are tangible and collectible. They retain value and can be resold, especially useful if you don't enjoy the game. They can be opened when you're ready to play or kept sealed. Occasionally they appreciate a lot
So this chart, which I made using the numbers in S. Mintz' recent Inside Higher Ed. piece (link and original source below) on the change in permanent faculty for 14 history departments is catastrophic.
We, as a field, as a discipline, should be discussing almost nothing else. 1/
Did some twitter scraping today for a pilot project using @mellymeldubs 's amazing workshop materials at @JSTOR 's Text Analysis Institute organised by @nkelber. Feeling more confident about being a digital humanist :) #digitalhumanities#textmining
I'm excited to finally share some news: I’ve resigned my position on the NYU faculty and started working full time as Vice President of Information Design at @nomic_ai, a startup helping people explore, visualize, and interact with massive vector datasets in their browser.
@quinnanya We are working on a pandas curriculum at Constellate. There's just a couple lessons now but I expect it will be a fully-featured copyleft curriculum in 2023.
@miriamkp Hey, I live in Michigan so I can't throw too much shade. The problem is that finding a better academic job always means uprooting your life. It's hard on families.
@ibogost This was my take as well, but like for all literature programs. Now, whenever I see a job ad, I lose all motivation once I see the salary followed by 3 letters of rec, five statements, etc. It's a litmus test, not for best people but for who will accept the working conditions.
Teacher/Professor hivemind: When running a class/meeting, how do you keep from sharing a document link in Zoom chat over and over as people enter the meeting?
@Sparbtastic This would work great for slides. Unfortunately, we're doing notebooks that scroll from top to bottom, so there's no guarantee the link will remain visible.
@story645 That's an interesting solution. I'm just picturing *everyone* reposting the link and filling up the chat. I do like the idea of the classroom being communal learning though. It's not just the instructor helping people.
