Teaching Digital Humanities in Nigerian Universities: Principles, tools and pedagogy for success
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This presentation explores the critical yet underdeveloped field of Digital Humanities (DH) in Nigerian universities, spotlighting how AI, digital tools, and African epistemologies can bridge the educational digital divide. I also provided practical strategies for integrating DH into the Nigerian curriculum while confronting resource scarcity and infrastructural limitations. Through real-world examples and culturally rooted digital tools like Voyant Tools, NotebookLM, and NLP systems adapted for African languages, the presentation challenges dominant Western models and emphasizes DH as a transformative methodology for preserving cultural heritage and amplifying Black scholarly futures.
