At the same time that �鶹������ý’s Teaching, Learning, and Tech team was leading the Humanities+Tech project, the Better Life Lab at �鶹������ý was launching Mission: Visible, a new resource for elevating the voices of women and people of color who are too often invisible or underrepresented on TV; in the news, movies, and history books; and at public events. The resource provides a directory of organizations that highlight untold stories, distribute materials such as photographs that are true to the diversity of society, and can provide starting points for Humanities+Tech discussions. A section on “arts, humanities, and social sciences,” for example, links to the National Women’s History Project, and the “performing arts and culture” section highlights , which provides photos of women of color in tech, free to use under Creative Commons license.
