Digital Disruptions of the Colonial Archive : Settler Colonialism in Acadie / Mi’kma’ki

Abstract

Digital Disruptions of the Colonial Archive: Settler Colonialism in Acadie/Mi’kma’ki. Digital Disruptions is a five-module (10 weekly lessons) asynchronous, online course that uses archival case studies related to Acadian and Mi’kmaw history to teach digital historical methods. Planned as a mid-size, second- or third-year university course, Digital Disruptions offers a deep examination of 18th-century settler colonialism while also providing students with extensive training in critical digital methods, and access to a repository of rare primary sources.
