this was a super interesting thread to read, and i'll add my two cents as the survivor of a fundamentalist christian education with a mandatory bible class: the close reading of absolutely any text poses problems to indoctrination as a project

Um es mal konstruktiv zu wenden: Wir sollten jetzt einfordern, was der Community wirklich hilft: queere Solidaritätsstrukturen müssen ausfinanziert und geschützt werden. Hass und Hetze müssen verfolgt werden. Und dazu gehört auch der Antrag zum #AfDVerbot. Alles andere ist Geseier.

Is there any research on how being raised within a particular religious tradition’s approach to text shapes the approach you have to text as a scholar (whether you remain in that religious tradition or not)?

Ofc the author’s research profiles are all over the place – addiction, parkinson’s, ADHD, Covid… who cares as long as you can hit something with the new shiny hammer (that’s destroying our planet and democracies and with them the medical and social systems this study claims to want to support).

This feels dated to me; such ‚oppositions‘ rarely exist in serious research environments or projects (anymore). For institutions & individuals for whom the effort involved is (actually) worth it, Transkribus, IIIF etc. pp. have been part of workflows for *quite* some time now. Both tech adoption 1/3

Reading pieces like Ellen Samuels' "Six Ways of Looking at Crip Time" literally changed my life and the way I care for my disabled body. That research was fostered by peer reviewers, editors, and open access publishing at Disability Studies Quarterly. Today the journal is at risk due to funding. 1/4

FWIW it’s an ADHD topos… there’s zero actual data on how and/ or why this works, but anecdotally a lot of us like listening to podcasts/ audio books better this way. However, here it’s clearly ND supremacy bullshit; he’s trying to brag about his cognitive abilities (processing speed etc.).
