I really enjoyed our panel. Didi's and my paper both explored the characteristics and "usefulness" of fictional and fabricated sources and emphasized that Jewish history is also part of German-American history. Many thanks to @drjanaweiss.bsky.social for providing the comment! #migrationhistory

Christof Schöch kicks off with reflections on 10 years of DHd. Institutionally, DH is a discipline. BUT in practice, it’s more complex.

Just a few more days to apply for our conference, "Rebuild or Retreat." Recent events across Europe (record heatwaves, widespread floods) and the U.S. (27 individual weather and climate disasters at least $1 billion in damages in 2024) underscore the urgency of climate migration and mobility. 👇

If you have time, how about identifying racial covenants in U.S. property records? It's simple: all you need to do, is answer some questions and transcribe the racial covenant sentence(s). The data helps scholars to map racial housing policies! See: www.zooniverse.org/projects/map... #citizenscience
