Dear friends,
We are excited to announce the *African Digital Storytelling Symposium
(https://africandh.ku.edu/digital-storytelling-symposium-2020)* on October
8 and 9, 10:00 AM – Noon (US Central Time) and we hope you will help spread
the word and join us!
*Featuring more than a dozen speakers, the symposium on digital
storytelling in Africa will center the ways in which digital media hardware
and software expand the forums and techniques available to Africans to tell
stories about different aspects of life on the continent. We bring together
participants from different parts of the world, including African
locations, to think together about digital storytelling and what it might
mean in the context of African digital cultures. The conversation will be
of interest to anyone interested in storytelling and the digital humanities
more generally. *
*The Symposium is free, streaming online via Zoom and Facebook, and open to
anyone to join. (Registration information will be available soon.)*
*Full schedule and other details at:
