[00:00:01.640]History about literature, about culture, about art.
[00:00:05.210]I know this history because I lived this history.
[00:00:07.280]There's all these stories out there.
[00:00:08.260]We refreshed and reinterpreted.
[00:00:10.730]Digital humanities are tools.
[00:00:11.980]Computer science method.
[00:00:12.992]Podcast or a game.
[00:00:14.410]Very collaborative.
[00:00:16.030]We need to reach new audiences.
[00:00:17.490]I've used them mostly in teaching.
[00:00:18.870]It's available to scholars.
[00:00:20.260]Ask new questions, stories that have been invisible.
[00:00:22.820]Devoted to diversity.
[00:00:25.060]My grandmother always said
[00:00:26.568](Spanish)
[00:00:30.350]everyone has a story.
[00:00:31.730]I grew up on stories sitting
[00:00:33.800]around my grandparents kitchen table.
[00:00:35.890]And it is up to us to learn one another's stories.
[00:00:39.100]Digital humanities becomes this moment of
[00:00:41.653]access for communities.
[00:00:46.050]It's so important for native people
[00:00:47.770]to be involved because it gives us a chance
[00:00:50.250]to tell those stories that other people
[00:00:51.631]might not choose to tell.
[00:00:54.260]I can't count the number of times
[00:00:56.190]when someone from a different background
[00:00:58.050]has pointed out a detail about a novel
[00:01:00.760]that I completely missed because I'm not them
[00:01:03.900]and they're a certain kind of reader
[00:01:05.321]I've been recovering all of the
[00:01:08.700]freedom suits by enslaved people who
[00:01:12.300]sued for their freedom in court.
[00:01:15.100]And there are other stories to be told.
[00:01:17.760]We want to know about those stories
[00:01:20.950]One of the goals is to really diversify the practitioners
[00:01:24.280]and the voices as well as the content
[00:01:25.917]that is coming out of these projects.
[00:01:28.010]Our goal is to include more scholars of color
[00:01:30.480]and more scholars devoted to diversity
[00:01:32.380]in digital humanities.
[00:01:33.990]Your voices, your stories, your heritage
[00:01:36.450]can revolutionize this exciting field.
[00:01:38.700]We're inviting you to a summer institute.
[00:01:40.770]Together we'll explore digital humanities,
[00:01:43.460]build new communities and with some luck
[00:01:46.380]shape a better future.
[00:01:47.893](upbeat music)
