<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear colleagues,</div><div><br></div><div>Welcome to the Afridig
list, which we hope will help to re-energise the digital humanities in
southern Africa as part of the <a href="https://wiser.wits.ac.za/page/programme-african-digital-humanities-2018-2023-13069" target="_blank">Mellon-funded Supra-Institutional Proposal with the same name</a>.
Our plan is to use the list for announcements and calls for proposals,
but we'd also like to encourage people to share resources on some of the
specific problems that concern the digital humanities (and the
humanities and social sciences in general) in this part of the world.
If you have suggestions or questions that you'd like to pose to a wider,
national group of people interested in these problems please do that
here. And, also, encourage people who are interested in the digital
humanities to subscribe (You should have a separate email from the
server explaining how to do that).</div><div><br></div><div>Yours, Keith<br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div style="text-align:left">-------<br>Keith Breckenridge <b><span style="color:rgb(153,0,0)">W I S E R</span></b><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102)"> - The Wits Institute for Social and Economic Research, University of the Witwatersrand | Pbag 3, PO Wits, Johannesburg, South Africa, 2050 |<font size="2"> Phone +27(0)11-7174272 | </font></span><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102)">Web</span>: <font size="2"><a href="http://wiser.wits.ac.za" target="_blank">wiser.wits.ac.za |</a> <a href="http://goo.gl/nJKK5N" target="_blank"><i>Biometric State</i>, CUP, Sept 2014</a> | Co - Editor, <a href="http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?jid=AFH" target="_blank">Journal of African History</a>.<br></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
