Regular readers will know that I tend to respond to exclusionary, “field-defining” statements with bibliographies designed to highlight the work of people who have long been working on a particular topic. Below is the working document pulled from the google doc where it was created. If you’d like to add to the bibliography, please feel free to do so. This #AngryBibl was initiated by me and Nikki Stevens and published […]

Justice and Digital Archives: A Working Bibliography
If we can’t see the ethical stakes (+ power relations) in digital archives we are going to do violence. Do better. Born of frustration and still very much a work in progress (gotta get the kids to school)…I have much more to include and I welcome your suggestions via twitter @profwernimont #justDigitalArchives or my ASU .edu email. Readings #Archivessowhite Introduction and Bibliography, Issues and Advocacy Research Posts https://issuesandadvocacy.wordpress.com/2016/04/18/archivessowhite-intro-bibliography/ Elvia Arroyo-Ramirez, […]

Suggestive…by way of casual counter-tracking
Yesterday friend and fellow traveller in/on/around digital cultures Alexandra Juhasz posted #hardtruth #67 “Watch Those Monetizing Their Watching From the Shadows”, part of her series of 100 #hardtruths about fake news, digital culture, and the many challenges of the first 100 days of #45. To help build the post, I shared with Alex screenshots of my morning browsing – reading the news, going to the bank, fact-checking — with two […]
CFP: GLAM+Universities on Migration
I’m pleased to be able to share the CFP below as part of an effort to develop the infrastructures of university and GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) to comment on issues of migration. This is a seed project funded by the PLuS Alliance and will feature one project in conjunction with ASU (including the Nexus Lab). We’ll also be working on a much larger grant proposal on this topic […]
New Connections Workshop
I concur with my colleague Jamie Winterton that “cyber” has become overdetermined and if you’re into understanding how that works you should check out her upcoming event with the Center for Science and Imagination. “Cyber” simultaneously looks to be urgently everywhere while also remaining mystifying for many beyond whatever pleasure there may be in police procedurals. Additionally, while poking fun at a certain someone’s invocation of “the cybers” is an important […]
Secure your information online
Several people have contacted me in the last twenty four hours about a relatively new site called FamilyTreeNow.com. The site is one of a couple of large 3rd party data aggregators that are advertised as a way of finding genealogical information and/or locating lost friends. It all sounds great – “make finding family free!” – but it can be extremely dangerous for those who are subject to stalking or other […]
Remediation, Activation, and Entanglement in Performative (Digital) Archives – MLA2017
Let’s begin with a definition of terms: Barad’s ideas regarding entanglement and what they mean for how we approach history and memory has been really important to my work on digital editions, archives, and collections In this piece (which was a presentation) I’m going to do something a little bit strange and perform a fairly critical reading of a digital book project that I directed and helped to create: Performing Archives: […]
Coming Soon: Size Does Matter
This is a placeholder post – one that I’m using to remind me of some thinking, writing, and making that I’d like to do in the near future. In a recent HSCollab Possibility Lunch we spent time talking about the many many different kinds of information coded in human performance/life. We were thinking through uptake of the dress-wearing of Young Thug and Jayden Smith (below) and how we might understand these […]
