Very specifically:
a) The creation of post-docs and/or grad fellowships geared towards projects that work in Africana/Af-Am or Ethnic Studies areas of inquiry. These positions should be hosted if possible at institutions with strong DH credentials.
b) The creation of travel grants for minority groups to attend THATCamps and other DH conferences.
c) The activism of those working in outreach capacities to seek out faculty and graduate students of color, learn about their projects and research and encourage them to participate in our world. This also means strong collaborations with Africana/Af-Am and Ethnic Studies institutes/departments.
d) The activism of those working in curation to seek out projects around fragile and marginal collections in the global south.

No small order that one, so I would be happy if we can even focus on one of the above and do a great job at it.

As Stewart said in his post, it’s important that we reach out to community colleges when planning THATCamps, but I am also interested in putting together a THATCamp Community College to bring together like-minded CC faculty to learn how to better integrate DH in our classrooms. Many CCs face unique challenges when it comes to tech accessibility both on campus and at home and it would be useful to discuss these challenges with people in similar situations.
