(Fall 2022)

Lecture Hall - Hybrid

Section Information for Fall 2022

This is a multi-disciplinary course with a particular focus on oral history practice, co-creating archives and co-curating digital humanities projects with established Black cultural institutions through a repatriatory, reparative, post-custodial, and community-centered model. Together, we will cultivate critical historical thinking and transferable humanities skills by discussing closely adjacent topics such as Blackness, anti-Blackness, power and the production of the past, archival silences and salvaging, agency, resistance, lived experience, and liberation. We will also consider the limitations—and subversive possibilities—of the “established record” by conceptualizing programs that read against the archival grain and elicit radical oral histories.

HIST 389 006 is a hybrid section that meets one day in person and one day online synchronously.
