Black Communications & Technology Lab (BCaT)
The Black Communications & Technology Lab, hosted at UMD's Department of Communication, enlivens a new generation of scholars with interests in Black Studies and Cultural Production, Digital Humanities, Critical Race work, and more. BCaT introduces undergraduates to digital research through workshops and coursework, helps students navigate graduate research, and create a mentoring network for students and faculty to navigate Black digital studies within the humanities, focusing on collaboration across generations.
