DESCRIPTION:Visiting scholar Julian C. Chambliss (Michigan State University
 ) will give a public talk titled "Afrofuturism and Digital Humanities: Som
 e Considerations on Digital Public Record and the Black Experience" on Sep
 tember 25 as part of the UT Humanities Center’s “Dialogues” digital 
 humanities mini-series within its 2023-2024 Distinguished Lecture Series. 
  \n\nThe case for Black Digital Humanities advocates for the transformativ
 e potential offered by the intersections of black studies and digital huma
 nities. In this talk\, I will discuss the implication of Afrofuturism 2.0 
 ideology offered by Afrofuturist thinkers such as Drs. Lonny Brooks and Re
 ynaldo Anderson and how we might use their Afrofuturist framing to create 
 digital humanities methodologies that address post-Reconstruction activism
  by African Americans. \n\nThe lecture is free and open to the public and 
 is held in Hodges Library’s auditorium on the UT Knoxville campus. Pub
 lic parking is available in the Volunteer Hall parking garage for our of
 f-campus visitors. Everyone is welcome! \n\n \n\nAbout the Speaker: \n\nJu
