Space, Race, Place and Digital Mapping
AADHum seeks to broaden the conversation among digital humanists and African Americanists to prepare the next generation of scholars with new methods, archives and tools that extend the digital humanities into disciplines related to African American history, literature and visual culture. Participants will engage in a series of dialogues on digital mapping to learn how the digital humanities shed light on pervasive facets of systemic inequality in America. The event will introduce participants to the varied resources at UMD, including the upcoming AADHum’s Spring Digital Humanities Incubator to reveal new possibilities for developing research.
