This course is designed to give students an introduction to digital humanities. It will include content from two cultural-historical periods: organized around American slavery studies and reconciliation, and diaspora and post-Soviet identity, which both touch on memory, identity, and reconciliation with the past, and lend themselves well to being studied through digital archives, digitalized memoire and letters, and digital maps. Within the comparative framework of the course, students will be introduced to digital mapping through skills and assignments connected to the Roberson Project on Slavery, Race, and Reconciliation. Students will draw from digital archives and the study of documentary film and digital display of montaged film from the Black Sea Networks Initiative.
