The DSL is hiring a new associate director, someone to help lead the lab and coordinate all the GIS work for projects like American Panorama and Mapping Inequality. If you're interested, info's at richmond.csod.com/ux/ats/careers… . And pass along to anyone you think might be interested.

The Massachusetts Historical Society issued a call for proposals for scholars in the digital humanities to workshop work-in-progress as part of their Shapiro Digital History Seminar series. These seminars are really productive. masshist.org/seminars/l-den…

Working on Mapping Inequality V3 with new maps for smaller towns. Map of Bristol VA makes me want to laugh & cry about links between past & present-today's MLK Blvd jumps out on a narrow area surgically redlined when he was ~10 years old.

Can't recommend @nathankhensley's piece enough. Other great work builds upon @HOLCRedlining's data. This is different but as important: an honest & often moving biographical meditation about race and memory. lareviewofbooks.org/article/remapp…
