“Always Coming Home: Relations of Repair in the Digital Humanities“
Monday, October 3rd, 2022, 4:00PM-5:30PM
MSU Libraries, Green Room, 4th Floor West
Digital Humanities, like many scholarly pursuits, relies on the territorial, cultural, and intellectual property of Indigenous peoples, communities, and nations to build projects, create products, and publish materials. The physical spaces we inhabit at universities and the collections, data, archives, and texts that produce the fodder for DH projects all have colonial roots and ongoing settler colonial logics embedded within them. In this talk, I propose a reparative theoretical framework based in Indigenous relations to kin, territories, material belongings and systems of knowledge to unsettle standard academic practices of authorship, attribution, and accountability. At the same time, I emphasize a process of technological and territorial engagement that foregrounds long-term, sustainable, relationships that center Indigenous knowledge systems and practices.
Please join the DH@MSU Community in attending the 2022 DH Distinguished Lecture. We are delighted to hear from Dr. Kimberly Christen as she speaks about her work! The 2022 DH Distinguished Lecture will be in the MSU Libraries, Green Room, 4th Floor West, October 3rd, 4:00PM-5:30PM, join us!
