I teach lit and composition at South Carolina State U. I have been exploring how to use low-cost/low-tech tools in my classrooms. I’m good at breaking big tasks into small, doable bits, so let me know if I can be of help.

As a historian, one of my interests is how we can use digital methods for researching African-American and women’s history– and helping people who already have training in those history subfields to learn more digital tools. I’d be happy to share how digital methods have helped me write about the African-American men and women of the Manhattan Project and on African-American and Mexican-American midwives during the early 20th century. I’m located in the Boston area, so my ability to participate in person would depend on my budget.

Good to see this. I am a Morehouse graduate so Clark/AU is near and dear to me. Kari Kraus at UMD and I are in the early stages of designing outreach to Howard University. Let’s be in touch.

Thanks!
James

Though I’m not at a HBC, I have contacts with a few different institutions in and around Little Rock, AR and I think many of the faculty members would want to be involved. Please let me know how I can help.

And as I wrote here, “I use the term ‘hack’ to mean ‘a good workaround’ or ‘a good-enough solution.’ Sometimes a ‘hack’ will involve the use of technology, but sometimes it will not.”

What kind of help do you need? Let us know!

Director of the Writing Center at Emory U in Atlanta and hoping to be one of the organizers for the next THATCamp Southeast (if we can ever get our acts together and get a meeting arranged). We’ve talked about improving outreach to HBCU and other schools in the Atlanta area next time around, but I’d also be happy to help out with your planning in whatever ways I can.
