“Unsettling Xinjiang” will significantly contribute to the documentation and dissemination of lived experiences and official explanations of colonialism and state violence. The project will build upon and extend the work of existing databases by utilizing a collaborative framework that draws upon knowledge mobilization strategies found in critical digital humanities, Indigenous studies, and comparative colonialism studies. Resources from this grant will help to transform online materials into an accessible digital experience that immerses users in an online ecosystem of primary sources that speak directly to state violence in the Uyghur and Kazakh homelands.
