The Team
The Center for Black Digital Research, also known as #DigBlk, engages public and scholarly audiences in innovative and collaborative initiatives that bring the buried and scattered histories of early Black organizing to digital life. Through archive and pipeline building, #DigBlk is committed to preserving Black organizing histories in the long nineteenth century and to building future generations of Black scholars who advocate for social justice in higher education, repositories, museums, and beyond.
CBDR Co-director Dr. Jim Casey directs training and project development, led by postdoctoral fellows Dr. Brandi Locke and Dr. Eunice Toh, alongside team members Lauren Barnes, Takina Walker, and in a special collaboration with Penn State's Africana Research Center Director Dr. Sherita Johnson.
