      Please join us for a social justice digital humanities talk and catered lunch featuring Dr. Angel David Nieves from 10am to noon Tuesday, May 28 at the UCSD Cross Cultural Center (on the second floor of the Price Center). Attendees are strongly encouraged to RSVP via Eventbrite.

       3D Online Publications + Social Justice: The Soweto Uprisings, Stompie Seipei, and Apartheid’s Long History 

       Dr. Angel David Nieves, Associate Professor of History & Digital Humanities at San Diego State University

      Digital and interactive forms of scholarship challenge established practices in the Arts & Humanities. Audiovisual content, graphic interfaces, and different types of visualizations employed in new forms of presentation and publication (e.g. websites, blogs, online databases, 3D worlds) do not conform with existing concepts of scholarship, and established practices of evaluation. Bringing together 3D model making (scholarship more generally) and the work of digital scholarly editions (DSE) is in fact new, and not a series of scholarly theories and practices that have been previously deployed in the digital humanities. Although these digital vehicles powerfully disseminate and engage with scholarship, scholars who implement these ‘new’ modalities are confronted by “the same old,” established mechanisms with which to gauge ‘impact’ among one’s scholarly peers, i.e. within traditional and long-established publications. Interactive 3D visualization, despite its long tradition in humanities research, is still faced with skepticism and hesitation, not only because of the constant technological shifts and exigencies and the fragile ecosystem within which projects are being developed, but also due to their non-conventional nature that does not adhere to established “norms” and metrics. Nieves will discuss the challenges of doing social justice based work, in digital humanities, while also providing new methods and platforms for dissemination in the Global South.
