This year, we are offering a brand new course on Decolonial Digital Humanities!

This is a great course for anyone who wants to learn to do critical, equity-driven computational research!
Excessive sand mining is causing a global ecological crisis. In this blog post, I present why sand mining is one of the most pressing challenges facing the planet, and why persistent data gaps hinder accountability and monitoring. I also discuss an ongoing research project of mine where we combine freely available satellite imagery and machine learning models to build open-source sand mine detection tools that can plug some of these data gaps.
