Biography
As a Black Studies scholar of the Digital Black Atlantic, I examine traditional and contemporary technologies, assessing how digital humanities tools interact with older memory forms like oral traditions, art and music. I explore the impact of contemporary technologies, such as databases, social media and immersive tools, on power dynamics, inequalities, and inclusion within the archive. This leads to debates on information environments, data ethics, access, digital ontologies, data rights, participation, algorithms, and AI.
My current research phase, termed TechnoMnemonic, contributes to the language of inquiry in digital humanities and Digital Black Atlantic scholarship. My interests span various cultural and historical periods, drawing from a cross-disciplinary cohort of scholars and theories, including literary and cultural studies, digital history, platform studies, and history. Additionally, I incorporate imaginative leaps, influenced by Afro-futurist and sci-fi motifs, to engage the Black Past
