@nathankelber Humanities is about more than preparing students for jobs. It is about adequately preparing students to be mentors of their communities. Humanities education is in crisis- let's bring it back to serving community. #networkdetroit2018

It is important to remember that the work of archivist & librarians @rollinscollege are the reason we can see this kind of erasure. Their support made it possible for my students to recover these narratives. #networkdetroit2018

@XamakaLatham takes us through a student perspective on experiential learning and research at @LawrenceTechU #networkdetroit2018
Now he is working on research papers of his own, thanks to skills and confidence from classroom based research experience #networkdetroit2018

Undergraduate research experiences change lives- Lior Shamir demonstrates that course-based research experiences serve less privileged students who don't have time outside of class #networkdetroit#2018

I am troubled by the suggestion that DNA/genealogical databases are sites of activism.
Native DNA by @KimTallBear & When Biometrics Fail by Shoshana Amielle Magnet reveal that analyses of biometric data are frequently inaccurate and racially biased.

#networkdetroit2018
@charles_woods1 incorporates both the panopticon and rhetorical velocity to argue that looking at DNA as a text can show how it transcends its initial collection and put to new rhetorical uses #networkdetroit
e.g. what happens when ancestry.com shares your DNA and medical history with an insurance company? Is this ethical reuse?
Golden State Killer was ID'd via commercial genetic testing service. Privacy and access issues are paramount- the way we triangulate genetics, technology, and criminality is of great concern for ethical data use #networkdetroit2018
Incredible

.@JulianChambliss shows the erasure of Black people from a community’s history. Top: Actual photo. Bottom: Photo that appears in textbooks. Original photo was actually folded/torn to exclude the group. #NetworkDetroit2018
Students in @JulianChambliss classes go into communities to recover black stories, complemented by archival research to uncover erasures in narratives around race in Central Florida #networkdetroit2018

Wow! @shree_thorat's research on the relationship between cable networks and colonialism is incredible!

Need to make technologies work for us in the decolonization project. We are already too imbricated in digital infrastructures to divest entirely. Humanities scholars can inform design to provide transformativ, not controlling technologies. @shree_thorat

.@shree_thorat “The Global South is not a lab” to test out temporary schemes for providing internet access #networkdetroit2018
Facebook and other tech companies who seek to shape infrastructure developments in India and the global south use language and imagery reminiscent of the 'civilizing mission' of the telegraph and telephone previously @shree_thorat #networkdetroit2018
