Research into the events of Soweto and the South Africa Student Uprisings of 1976 – now in a process of recovery and memorialization – remains grounded in the realms of contested and difficult history, as is its historiography. The marriage of theory and praxis, in digital humanities, has meant the active development of new tools and platforms that inquire into human rights violations – specifically how 3D technology can be used to help us elicit new oral testimonies that have gone untold and unrecorded.
 
Angel David Nieves, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor at Hamilton College, Co-Director of Hamilton’s Digital Humanities Initiative (http://www.dhinitiative.org), and Research Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. He is currently working on a new volume in the Debates in the Digital Humanities Series and on a special collaborative issue of American Quarterly (2018) on DH in the field of American Studies. He is co-editor (w/Kim Gallon, Purdue) of a new book series at the University of Georgia Press, The Black Spatial Humanities: Theories, Methods, and Praxis in Digital Humanities.
