This webinar delves into the role of digital humanities as a restorative practice, emphasizing Black cultural memory. By focusing on African American oral traditions and storytelling within communities, this session illustrates how educators can turn the classroom into a space for cultural recovery and social justice.
Participants will explore project models that incorporate digital mapping, narrative inquiry, and student-driven research, all aimed at reshaping the humanities curriculum to center on identity, equity, and truth-telling. The session encourages educators to embrace an interdisciplinary, technology-enhanced pedagogy that not only critiques prevailing historical narratives but also creates narratives rooted in the lived experiences of Black individuals.
