Sabor de Highlandtown is a digital humanities project developed in collaboration with my American Studies and Public Humanities students at UMBC between 2021 and 2024. The project was created in partnership with the Southeast Community Development Corporation and the owners of local food establishments across the Highlandtown neighborhood. A central goal of the project was to expand the archival record of Highlandtown, which historically focused on European history, to document the rich stories of immigrant communities whose contributions had long been overlooked. At the same time, Southeast CDC sought marketing support for these neighborhood businesses, and this project offered a meaningful compromise—producing materials that both preserve history and promote local establishments. The collection is hosted in UMBC’s Special Collections as part of the Maryland Folklife Network, and the project is also featured on the I Heart Highlandtown website. Students engaged in oral histories with food vendors and archival research. Graduate students in the LLC program conducted three interviews, while undergraduates worked in teams to produce 2–3 minute audio clips paired with photographs, highlighting the stories, resilience, and cultural contributions of Highlandtown’s immigrant entrepreneurs. One clip, featuring Jose Vargas, was selected as the basis for a short documentary. The project was part of my Humanities Scholars course, Introduction to Public Humanities, and two iterations of Food Ethnography, demonstrating how collaborative, community-centered digital humanities work can blend research, storytelling, student skill-building, and community engagement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/599e236259cc68b6062a5a68/40496e2a-c09c-4802-87ce-e87fc14cc66c/IMG_0344.JPG Public Humanities Don’t Stand alone: Black Labor Organizing History Exhibition José Cotto, Max Krochmal, Jana K.
