Syllabus, ENGL 604: Black Digital Humanities
Abstract
Syllabus of a Department of English graduate course, Black Digital Humanities. ENGL 604, Black Digital Humanities (Black DH), explore the intersections of African-American literature, editing and recovery, and digital humanities. Following the concept of
“juxtaposition,” what Kelly Baker Josephs and Roopika Risam see as the intersection “of disciplines,
cultures, and methods” (Introduction, The Digital Black Atlantic 2021), the course will consist of
traditional class discussion and lab days that bridge theoretical with the methodological and applied
contents.
We will examine a broad range of scholarship including traditional print scholarship, such as a digital
edition of Jean Toomer’s Cane or secondary scholarship such as The Digital Black Atlantic, data/text
repositories, such as those created by the History of Black Writing, digital projects, such as the Black
Gotham Archive, and multimedia sources such as Mark Anthony Neal’s web series “Left of Black” or
#ADPHDPROJECT, Jessica Marie Johnson’s Instagram repository of Projects Highlighting Social
Justice x Atlantic African Diaspora History. Students will learn to work with dh tools like voyant, omeka, TEI/XML, and
databases.
