We have a responsibility to tell students the truth about careers & to point out some of the misinformation around. An English degree can lead to all kinds of things, not least careers in tech companies, health & other 'scientific' spheres, in much-needed roles other than technical & scientific.

Does anyone happen to know of work in #corpuslinguistics #digitalhumanities etc. that critically reflects on textuality? In particular, corpus tools usually enforce a static and immutable notion of text, which is then the basis for dispersion measures, topic models, etc. Any pointers appreciated!
