DESCRIPTION:Digital Humanities projects about racialised chattel slavery an
 d the Transatlantic Slave Trade often make claims of being "decolonial" an
 d "reparative" while modelling data about enslaved people that continues t
 o replicate and encode the dehumanisation and commodification of enslaved 
 persons\, while excluding and restricting Afrodescendents from contributin
 g to and accessing these projects\, their significant resources and potent
 ial benefits. \n\nThis talk will expand on Black digital practice (identif
 ied by Jessica Marie Johnson in her important paper "MarkUp Bodies") in th
 e Wikimedia communities and introduce the possibilities of 'WikiProject Ch
 attel Enslavement and Freedom' that aims to:\n• improve how data about e
 nslaved people\, self-liberated people\, and the histories of racialised c
 hattel slavery is modelled and structured\n• address the knowledge debt 
 around the knowledge production and intellectual histories of enslaved per
 sons and their communities \n• support the development of ethical approa
 ches to data modelling about enslaved persons\, enslavement and freedom on
