The session …

Developing a Common Language across Race Studies and the Digital Humanities

I would like to propose a collaborative workshop to develop a common language or vocabulary between scholars of race studies (critical race studies, postcolonial studies), computer scientists and the digital humanists. What are some common terms that we use that we think in different ways? (Modularity comes up as one.) What are some of the …

Critical Theory, Philosophy of Science and New Media
