SUMMARY:Roopika Risam Talk and Workshop
DESCRIPTION:\n\nRoopika Risam\n\nAssistant Professor of English\nSalem State University\nroopikarisam.com\, Twitter @roopikarisam\n\n \n\nTalk and discussion: “Decolonizing Digital Humanities: Towards New Communities of Practice”\n\nFriday\, March 11th\, 4:15\, Burling Library - Grinnell College\nAs digital humanities has grown\, the field and its methods have been subject to critique for their exclusions along lines of race\, class\, gender\, nation\, ability\, and other axes of difference. The work of postcolonial digital humanities has taken up these concerns by examining the role that postcolonial theory plays in mediating and reframing the practices of digital humanities. This talk takes a critical look at what it means - and does not mean - to "decolonize" the digital humanities. It raises concern about the undertheorized ways that "decolonization" has been marshaled in response to digital humanities while examining how postcolonial critique can move the field forward and how it influences digital humanities practice in existing projects. \nLight refreshments will be served.\nNo registration needed.\n\nFaculty Workshop: “Digital Humanities Pedagogies for Social Justice”\n\nSaturday\, March 12th\, 10:00 to 1:30 (with lunch)\, Digital Liberal Arts Lab in The Forum - Grinnell College\nThis workshop offers a hands-on approach to designing social justice-oriented digital humanities assignments for the classroom. We will explore the applications of existing digital humanities projects that foreground cutting edge approaches to the intersections of race\, gender\, sexuality\, and nation to curricular goals. We will further consider how to develop classroom projects that blend social justice and digital methods from the ground up. The workshop will emphasize how to approach difference through digital humanities from a pedagogical framework and how to design these social justice projects at scopes and scales that are appropriate for the classroom. Participants will leave with assignment ideas they have developed\, along with access to ideas generated across the workshop.\nA light lunch will be served.\nRegister for the Roopika Risam Workshop\n\n\n\nThese event are being co-sponsored by the DLAC and the Center for the Humanities\n\n
