AADHum— The African American History, Culture and Digital Humanities at UMD— is pleased to present Black as X: Platforming Experimental Scholarship, our first AADHum Scholars Symposium for the 2020 cohort. In a series of conversations with noted Black Studies scholars, each scholar will offer project demonstrations, discuss their project process, and speculate about future project iterations.
