Decolonizing Representations: Past, Present & Future
How can faculty, students, and community members engage in digital knowledge production as critical users and as meaningful producers? “Decolonizing Representations” is a series of FREE workshops designed for those folks who want to learn to do both, using digital tools to examine and re-imagine representations of Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, & LGBTQ+ groups and people with disabilities at UF.
The workshops are free but space is limited. Register using the links below. Registration to both workshops is not required.
