U-M awarded $4.8M humanities grant from Mellon Foundation
The University of Michigan received a major grant from the Mellon Foundation that is meant to fund the creation of DISCO: the Digital Inquiry, Speculation, Critique, and Optimism Network. “This scholarly collective focusing on digital inequality, race and ability is really core to University of Michigan’s Digital Studies Institute’s mission and goals. We look forward to publishing collaborative work on tech’s wins and fails, creating new courses on digital inequality that speak to STEM students, and creating art that speaks to (artificial intelligence) and identity.” said Lisa Nakamura, the director of the Digital Studies Institute.
