Africana Digital Pedagogy: Cultural Exchange, Learning, and Innovation

This project was created to illuminate the role and value of digital platforms for the Africana community. This research project was exploratory in that the primary researchers had an unclear idea of how the collected response provided by the participants would correlate and interact with the general hypothesis of Africana digital pedagogy (ADP). We surveyed 56 individuals from different segments of the global Africana communities for their opinions on their digital platform usage, as well as what they learn about themselves and their communities. Through our analysis of these responses, combined with existent literature and our own experiences as Africana individuals who engage with digital spaces to varying degrees, we seek to both garner insight into how the global Africana community currently utilizes these spaces as well as how they can be utilized more effectively in the continued pursuit of Black liberation.
