Main takeaways from this (excellent) #dh2023 legal session so far are: 1. There is *so* much information/legislation to sift through, no matter where you’re based (have heard from US and EU so far); 2. Success is possible! But much, much easier if you can work as a collective. (2023-07-14 ↗)
#DH2023 @quinnanya and Lauren Tilton on building legal literacies for text and data mining and DCMA exemptions (2023-07-14 ↗)
“What are concrete steps towards equitable DH?” Q to panelists in the “On Making in DH” session @ #DH2023 As include creative career pathways, rethinking REF (to include digital products), more stable roles (beyond soft funding), building in time for trad. research output. Interesting point from John Bradley on not receiving “academic” designation until very late in his career, mainly as a way to be REF eligible. Certainly a theme of this week has indeed been value, labor, acknowledgment. (2023-07-14 ↗)
“We work with people who respect our expertise.” – @rsk on Princeton CDH collaboration and their prerequisite of recognizing RSEs as equal collaborators, co-authors, co-PIs. To which I say: hell yeah. #dh2023 (2023-07-13 ↗)
Now listening to a great panel on “Research Software Engineer Careers and Project Involvement in DH.” Interesting to see how different institutions approach this work, how they support the people who perform this labor, what type of collaboration opportunities exist, and how their work is acknowledged. #DH2023 (2023-07-13 ↗)
