What's curious to me is thinking about how we can't compete with STEM, rather that STEM can't compete with us. So, STEM aspirationalism is a defeatist position on the humanities.

Good point @roopikarisam. But in terms of funding/resources, we are in some kind of competition, no? Is there a way out of this loop?
-
I don't know that in the US we're competing for funding, simply because STEM grantors won't fund our work and there is way more STEM funding than humanities funding. I don't foresee DH changing that or intervening there. In light of Adeline and Joanne's responses, I'd be curious to know if anyone has had a DH project funded by NSF. Of all grantors, that seems like one most likely to be convinced.

@professmoravec: could you explain what it is about corpus analytics that is more attractive for you? Especially in comparison to something like topic modelling? Explain it to us like we were five year olds. :D

@professmoravec, i wish vanilla forums had the functionality to allow me to "like" your post with the SQUEE!!! So how does that differ from topic modeling (TM doesn't have the function of analyzing texts via linguistic relationships?)
Howdy, Stranger!
