Dr. Steele serves as the Director for the African American Digital Humanities Intiative (Synergies among Digital Humanities and African American History and Culture: An integrated research and training model). Funded by a $1.25 million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundatio, AADHum fosters research, education and training at the intersections of digital humanities and African American studies, and will help to prepare a diverse community of scholars and students whose work will both broaden the reach of the digital humanities in African American history and cultural studies, and enrich humanities research with new methods, archives and tools.
