What Does It Mean to Build Digital Ethnic Futures?
For the four regional public universities that serve as leaders in the new Digital Ethnic Futures Consortium (DEFCon), building digital ethnic futures means forming communities of practice, sharing knowledge and redistributing some zeros, about six to be exact.
In September 2021, the Digital Ethnic Futures Consortium was established with support from a $3 million grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The consortium, which operates on a hub-and-spoke model, includes an administrative hub at Salem State University, and three spokes at institutions across the U.S. including New Jersey City University, Texas Southern University and Cal State Fullerton.
