Up the Revolution!!! Thanks, Bethany, for taking the bull by the horns–you’re an oak! I agree with Eric: If the academy is the stone tossed in the pond, the restructuring of the humanities only *begins* with the first ripple–the concentric waves emanating outward from the academy are equally important (and often overlooked). The #alt-ac movement will prove more beneficial to all stakeholders, including–no *especially*–humanities students, if it engages with those who carry the banner beyond The Pale of the ivy-encrusted walls.

Excellent news from the @DiggingIntoData Twitter account: nine months after "What Do Girls Dig?" (which has been reprinted as part of the University of Minnesota Press Debates in the Digital Humanities collection), the 2011 winners of the Digging into Data challenge have been announced. 9 of 14 winning projects have a woman as a principal investigator. (In the 2009 round, the numbers were 0 of 8.) Congratulations to all of the project teams, and many thanks to the Digging into Data funders who took this conversation so seriously.
