In the same week we published our #ReviewsInDH review of World History Center's World Historical Gazetteer, I get to be part of their fantastic event for teachers, "Truth, Misinformation, and Technology," talking about the next book I'm writing. 😍 worldhistory.pitt.edu/news/alwh-summ…
We are loving Roopika Risam's talk about big data throughout world history - especially her Geocities inspired slides! 😆 It's not too late to join us for "Truth, Technology, and Misinformation in World History" today on Zoom: bit.ly/3x53Kty
Now listening to elise silva (she/her)'s amazing talk, "Objectivity Bias, Uninformed Skepticism, and the Politics of Trust"! Soooooo good.
Thanks to our awesome participants & speakers (Roopika Risam elise silva (she/her) Annette Vee) for joining us for this year's ALWH workshop where we talked about big data in world history, historicizing AI & automatic writing, and critically curious engagement w/ information! #worldhistory
I feel so incredibly excited and energized about the book I’m writing after getting to spend the day with the World History Center! It’s so encouraging to hear that the work you’re pouring your brain into resonates with a broad audience. World History Center 😍

I'm so delighted to share this news! As always this would be impossible without kgeographer 🇺🇦🏴☠️🧐 (and now Dr Stephen Gadd (docuracy.bsky.social) as well), along with Ali Straub, Jesse Obert and everyone at World History Center . Please publish your historical place data with us!
