My Hot Take will be focused on the book “Making a Case for Black Digital Humanities” by Kim Gallon. This reading was one I found very fascinating, and I learned about the concept of Black Digital Humanities, which is the intersection of Black studies and digital humanities.

The article on black digital humanities really helps me understand how important archived articles are to understand history. I think in one of the slides that was show in class the question was posed why “black” digital humanities. Now many would have a different answer but I think it is important to underhand that for… Continue reading Hot take on Black digital humanities

As we all know information is plays an important role in our lives. Whether we know it or not information controls the mass, which is… Continue reading HOT TAKE FOR 4/26/2022
