In my brief talk, I shared how I came to DH via happenstance when a classmate of mine shared their engagement with DH on campus. After meeting with the staff at the KU Institute for Digital Research in the Humanities, I became even more interested, and have since learned a lot about what DH is and have worked to incorporate it into my studies and future career.

My work collects original oral histories of women warriors who contributed to the anti-apartheid struggle. This past fall, I applied for a National Geographic storytelling fellowship to refine a digital archive featuring the oral history narratives of Namibian women freedom fighters. The project will provide an enduring testimonial to women’s contributions to the struggle.
