Brought together by our work on The Digital Black Atlantic (University of Minnesota Press, 2021), co-edited by Roopika Risam and Kelly Baker Josephs, we are committed to sharing resources with and building a community of digital humanities practitioners whose work engages in ethnic studies fields. As faculty who work at institutions focused on undergraduate education, we are invested in supporting the work of graduate students, faculty, and librarians who are integrating digital humanities into their undergraduate teaching in Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and Asian American studies. Equally important is our investment in developing ethical digital humanities initiatives that work with community partners to promote justice and equity in the digital cultural record.
