Keynote Speaker for National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Institute in Eugene, Oregon

So pleased to travel to Eugene, Oregon to be a part of the NEH Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities Summer Institute, An Institute for Community College Digital Humanists: Beyond Pockets of Innovation, Toward a Community of Practice in July 2015. This was made possible because of the vision of Professor Anne McGrail from Lane College:

I encountered such generous educators and digital humanists (DH) from around the country. Many thanks to the phenomenal photographer Russell Shitabata for capturing my talk and the other workshops. See more on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RShitabata

Guest Speaker at African Burial Ground's Juneteenth Celebration

Many many thanks to all those who came out to hear my talk at the African Burial Ground for the Juneteenth Celebration on June 19th. What an amazing and engaging inter-generational crowd! And thanks to all those who purchased my book. The rangers told me they sold out at the bookstore and have to order more. I experienced such generosity from the audience and the rangers. I am so grateful. http://www.nps.gov/afbg/index.htm
