This course examines the intersections of Black cultural production, public engagement, and the digital humanities. Students will explore how Black scholars, artists, cultural workers and communities create, preserve, and share knowledge through public-facing work while critically examining questions of access, abundance, belonging, and representation. Drawing from Black cultural traditions, digital innovation, and public scholarship, students will engage with the myriad ways Black communities leverage material culture, place-based knowledge, storytelling and digital tools to document and share their experiences in the contemporary era. As a course rooted in theory and methods they will also examine how new media, speculative practices and public humanities approaches can be mobilized not just to preserve the past, but to imagine and create new Black futures in the digital age.
