In 2023, Humanities Unbounded began supporting the Duke-NCCU Digital Humanities Course Development Fellowship with long-time partner North Carolina Central University, a neighboring Historically Black College and Universitiy (HBCU). The program matches two Duke graduate students with two NCCU faculty over the summer term to develop courses for NCCU’s newly established Digital Humanities Minor. Graduate Assistants collaborate with faculty, either one-on-one or in a team, to create course modules, assignments, video tutorials, data sets, and other relevant materials.
PhD Candidate in Literature Pratistha Bhattarai and Divinity School ThD student Warren Lattimore worked with Lenora Helm Hammonds (Department of Music) and Kuldip Kuwahara (Department of Language and Literature) to add DH tools to their classes. They also participated in the weeklong NEH-funded workshop "Digital Exploration of North Carolina Central University’s History" held at NCCU in May 2023.
PhD Candidate in Literature Pratistha Bhattarai and Computational Media, Arts & Cultures PhD student Sang Chi Liu are working with Erica-Brittany Horhn (Department of Language and Literature) and Scott Singeisen (Department of Art and Design) to develop the courses "Analyzing African American Humor through Digital Humanities" and "The Digital Eagles Nest" using DH tools.
