The Accidental Black Digital Humanist

This lunchtime talk, by Professor Daryle Williams of the University of Maryland, will cover one historian’s journey through a burgeoning academic subfield known as black digital humanities.  Special focus will be placed on the structural, circumstantial, and accidental conditions that led a somewhat conventional text-bound humanist to embrace digital tools of inquiry, analysis, and knowledge production. The discussion will include both personal and programmatic reflections on the possibilities of black DH in our times of stress and disruption in the liberal arts.  Please join us for lunch at 12:15 in the CTLR Lounge (Davis Family Library), but please also let us know you’re coming so that we can plan the catering order accordingly.  RSVP by noon on Friday October 25th to CTLR programming website https://middlebury-ctlr.libcal.com/calendar/events/?cid=10807&t=g&d=000…
