About the event
DGPCAH-CDSC Summer Reading Group: Anti-Oppressive Digital Humanities
The David G. Pollart Center for Arts and Humanities (DGPCAH) and the Center for Digital Curation and Scholarship (CDSC) invite you to the DGPCAH-CDSC Summer Reading Group: “Anti-Oppressive Digital Humanities.” The reading group will be facilitated by Nazua Idris, PhD Candidate in Literary Studies and HASTAC Scholars Fellow for 2023-2025.
This reading group is open to undergraduate and graduate students and faculty and staff members whose research and creative practices explore the intersections of Arts/Humanities and Science/Technology. People who are interested in learning about the social- and racial-justice-oriented trends in Digital Humanities are also welcome to join this group. The group will meet 4 times between June and August via Zoom to discuss the books (listed below). The goal will be to discuss these books and possibly organize a roundtable/colloquium at WSU in Fall 2024 to present our findings.
The books that will be discussed are:
1. Unmasking AI: My Mission to Protect What Is Human in a World of Machines (2023) by Joy Buolamwini
2. South Asian Digital Humanities: Postcolonial Mediations Across Technology’s Cultural Canon (2021) by Roopika Risam and Rahul K. Gairola (Editors)
3. The Digital Black Atlantic (2021) by Roopika Risam and Kelly Baker Josephs (Editors)
4. Reading of your choice (you can either pick one of the following books or you can bring a DH book or article that inspires you and discuss it)

b. Debates in the Digital Humanities (2023) by Matthew K. Gold and Lauren F. Klein (Editors)
c. Global Debates in the Digital Humanities (2022) by Domenico Fiormonte, Sukanta Chaudhuri, and Paola Ricaurte (Editors)
