[Folkserv] Latinx Digital Humanities Workshop: Contesting the Historical Record with Digital Tools 4/21

[Moriarty, Megan]

Join the Center for Latin American Studies on Thursday, April 21, from 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM in the Research Commons (3rd floor) of the 18th Avenue Library for a workshop by Drs. Carolina Villarroel and Lorena Gauthereau entitled "Latinx Digital Humanities: Contesting the Historical Record with Digital Tools."

This event is intended for OSU faculty, postdocs, and graduate student researchers. Don't miss the complementary presentation<https://clas.osu.edu/events/doing-work-matters-latinx-archives-digital-humanities-community-work> to be given the day before.

This workshop will provide an overview of how to engage Latinx praxis to describe Latinx archival material and create digital projects that contest the historical record. We will emphasize methodologies that center Latinx decolonial theories and ask participants to consider how the digital space can function as a site of resistance. Drawing from the rich collections at the University of Houston’s Recovering the US Hispanic Literary Heritage as well as an example from the Ohio State University’s Thompson Library Special Collections, we will demonstrate free, easy-to-use software that can be used to create historical timelines, online exhibits of historical photographs and documents, and dynamic story maps. Participants will leave the workshop with a list of digital resources, a digital bibliography, a list of free software, and the seed of a digital project.
