Dorothy Kim, Digital Humanist, Vassar College
“How  to #Decolonize the Digital Humanities: or A Practical Guide to Making #DH Less White.” Based on the forthcoming volume Disrupting Digital Humanities and drawing from digital humanities (DH) subfields including the postcolonial, queer, critical race, disability, radical librarianship, and digital pedagogy, Kim seeks to make space for broader perspectives in DH and to bring otherwise marginalized voices to the fore.

This is Part 1 of the “Digital Non-Neutrality Series: Decolonizing and Queering DH Tools and Practices” series, co-organized by T.L. Cowan (MacMillan, DH Lab & WGSS) and Marijeta Bozovic (Slavic Languages and Literatures).

Sponsored by the Yale DH Lab, Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Mellon-funded Re-imagining Digital Humanities at Yale program, The Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies at Yale and the Canadian Studies Committee.
