The UCI Digital Humanities Exchange welcomes three senior team members from the Center for Black Digital Research/#DigBlk which houses the Colored Conventions Project, the early Black Women’s Organizing Archive (BWOA), and Douglass Day.
This team includes Denise Burgher (co-director of Douglass Day and chair of our Community Engagement committee), Samantha de Vera (chair of the Digital Exhibits committee ) and Sabrina Evans (coordinator of the Black Women’s Organizing Archive).
This talk will offer a holistic view of the Center for Black Digital Research’s foundation, guiding principles, new directions, and upcoming expansions.
Denise Burgher, Samantha de Vera and Sabrina Evans will discuss the first exhibition of the Colored Conventions Project, explain the values that have guided the project, and introduce the Center for Black Digital Research’s new project, the Black Women Organizing Archive.
This event is co-sponsored by the UCI Humanities Center as part of its 2021-22 theme, “to form a more perfect union?“. For more information about this theme, and to see more events, go HERE.
