Methods and tools for reading culture at scale.

A practicum for African Digital Humanities researchers who want to build something real, not just survey the field. Every module opens with a project the instructor has actually shipped — a translation pipeline with 711,000+ machine translations across 250 African-language locales, a comparative-ethics database of 385 African folktales, a postcolonial-critique encyclopedia with schema-level design decisions, and more — read as evidence, warts and all. You will survey a real catalogue of 20+ existing African DH projects, choose or propose your own, and be guided from a scoped research question through data collection, infrastructure, analysis, and a public capstone showcase.
