Teaching Digital Humanities in Nigerian Universities: Principles, tools and pedagogy for success

This presentation explores the critical yet underdeveloped field of Digital Humanities (DH) in Nigerian universities, spotlighting how AI, digital tools, and African epistemologies can bridge the educational digital divide. I also provided practical strategies for integrating DH into the Nigerian curriculum while confronting resource scarcity and infrastructural limitations. Through real-world examples and culturally rooted digital tools like Voyant Tools, NotebookLM, and NLP systems adapted for African languages, the presentation challenges dominant Western models and emphasizes DH as a transformative methodology for preserving cultural heritage and amplifying Black scholarly futures.
