Voices of the Enslaved: A Digital Humanities Approach to Encountering the Archive

A major off-shoot from my work on Voices of the Enslaved is a digital humanities project that extends my interest in expanding and rethinking the established canon of slave narratives in the Americas, the Caribbean, and the Indian Ocean. Voices of the Enslaved: A Digital Humanities Approach to Encountering the Archive was produced in partnership with the Omohundro Institute's OI Reader platform and features edited transcriptions and translations of slaves’ courtroom testimony, aimed at both a scholarly and public audience.
A fully bilingual French-English version of the website is forthcoming Summer 2015.
As an extension of this work, I am dedicated to preserving and disseminating knowledge about slavery and its legacies, through helping safeguard archives through support of digitization projects such as the Louisiana Colonial Documents Digitization Project or advocacy work for organizations such as the Committee for the Slavery Museum Project in Mauritius (my birthplace).
