Search for new digital humanities tutles

Al Mode reads:
"New digital humanities turtles" refers to a growing, interdisciplinary research area that reclaims the "turtles all the way down" metaphor to explore animal cosmologies, Indigenous knowledge, and digital, environmental, and technological studies. This emerging field— highlighted by initiatives at institutions like the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science

Here's the talk I gave at Duke's Society-Centered AI (SCAI) conference in Feb 2026, on "The Social Case for AI Hallucinations" — on why AI "confabulations" might actually be a resource for historical recovery. Not all AI hallucinations are errors - some can have affordances. youtu.be/p-S-KPI7YFQ?...

Interdisciplinarity is fun because it’s something job ads in humanities HE say they want but it often feels like it actively disqualifies you (in the sense of having degrees in, and published in leading journals of, multiple distinct disciplines). Everyone believes you’re not in their discipline.

I’m a literary scholar. I teach digital humanities. Last week, I wrote peer reviews for a sociology journal. Tomorrow, I’m headed to a book history conference. Another reason why the “spreadsheet men” framing is unhelpful is that it collapses distinct fields with distinct intellectual traditions.
