Research

AADHum continues to deepen its commitments to broadening the landscape of Black digital humanities, while also highlighting the numerous places where Black DH intersects with electronic literature, digital storytelling, computational poetics, and public humanities more generally. Through our own boundary-pushing research collaborations with leading scholars in the arts and humanities, AADHum serves as a vibrant center for Black DH research both in the greater Washington, DC area as well as nationally and internationally.

What’s in your air?

What's in your air? is an interactive educational experience using augmented reality technologies for Snapchat. The project invites users to explore the air around them and discover the molecules common to our atmosphere. It includes modes that reveal the changes to air composition following a wildfire or during a pandemic, reminding users of the dangers of greenhouse gases and climate changes and reminding us all to wear a mask.
