Mission Statement:
"COVID Black - is a Black Digital Humanities (Black DH) collective and an early response taskforce on Black health and data that organizes resources and actions that are designed to combat health disparities within Black diasporic communities. Utilizing the critical and justice-oriented frameworks of Black Studies, Black Digital Humanities, and Public Health, we seek to collectively build awareness and outreach around the role that intersectionality and ethics play in issues of information, science, technology, and medicine. As a Black DH collective, COVID Black foregrounds an understanding of race as a technology in order to reflect Black epistemologies and highlight the role that systemic racism plays in the politics of platforms, publics, and policies. Specifically, we focus on the ways in which digital tools and technology can be used to not only collect data, but to facilitate collaboration, creation, and community through the collection of information and discourse which highlights the lived experiences of Black people during and beyond the COVID-19 outbreak."
