Thank you to everyone who joined us for last month's BBD Reading Group featuring Dr. Isar Godreau! This Friday, November 17th at 12 PM (EST) we will be joined by Nicole N. Aljoe, a Professor of English and Africana Studies at Northeastern University in Boston. She is co-Director of The Early Caribbean Digital Archive and Mapping Black London, and Director of the Early Black Boston Digital Almanac.
Her research and teaching focuses on 18th and early 19th Century Black Atlantic and Caribbean literatures with specializations in slave narrative, early novels about race, and digital humanities. The author of Creole Testimonies: Slave Narratives from the British West Indies, 1709-1836 (Palgrave 2012) and co-editor of Journeys of the Slave Narrative in the Early Americas (UVA Press 2014) as well as A Literary History of the Early Anglophone Caribbean: Islands in the Stream (Palgrave/Springer 2018), her essays have appeared in African American Review, American Literary History, Anthurium, Eighteenth-Century Fiction, The Journal of Early American Literature, and Women’s Studies.
ICYMI: This reading group hosts free, virtual, monthly meetings focused on exploring ideas around community-based data analytics (CBDA), a collaborative approach to data that involves community members in the collection, management, and analysis of data in their communities
The aim of the Black Beyond Data Reading Group is to gather people (researchers, faculty, community activists) who have an interest in Black community-based data analytics to critically research and study social issues to initiate transformative change in Black communities.
If this sounds at all like YOU, be sure to sign up to join us!* We'll send out a calendar invite with the Zoom link and suggested readings in the days leading up to each month’s meeting.
We hope you can join us on Friday! Stay tuned for more details.
Yours in community,
BBD @ SFNC
