Canada Research Chair in Black Feminist Technologies and Artistic PraxisReactivating the archive
As the Canada Research Chair in Black Feminist Technologies and Artistic Praxis, Dr. Kristin Moriah seeks to advance knowledge about Black feminist methodologies and their wider cultural impact. She is exploring how contemporary technologies can support Black feminist research and expand research on Black political organizing in Canada and the United States, particularly as it relates to radical Black feminist artists, writers, and activists.
Dr. Moriah’s research aims to reconceptualize, repurpose, and reactivate Black feminist archives and conversations around Black feminist practices for the Black freedom struggle and Black study more broadly. It will also lead to the identification of Black feminist materials for digitization and preservation and the advancement of relationships between libraries, archives, repositories, and Black communities in Canada. Dr. Moriah seeks to develop new infrastructure and networks to facilitate this preservation work and ultimately contribute to greater public access of Black feminist archives and ephemera. Rigorous thinking, reading, writing, and dreaming about the creative connections between Blackness, technology, and liberation, form the basis of Dr. Moriah’s research.
