Thrilled to share our HuMetricsHSS report, which draws on 123 interviews & builds on years of collaborative work. In examining current evaluation systems, the report highlights ways to recognize labor, invest in many kinds of scholarly work, & better align practices with values.

We're excited to announce that Sarah Kenderdine & her Lab of Experimental #Museology are digitizing the massive Panorama of the Battle of Murten: a project that's expected to yield one of the largest single #digital images ever produced! EPFL Digital Humanities EPFL actu.epfl.ch/news/epfl-lab-…



Terrific final project presentations by students yesterday in my “Extending the Museum” and “Visual Histories” classes. Very rewarding conclusion of my 30-year teaching career at MIT in MIT Comparative Media Studies/Writing and MIT Global Languages. It’s been an amazing journey, thanks to many incredible students.
