HASTAC administers the MacArthur Foundation's Digital Media and Learning Competition, an annual program that mobilizes emerging leaders, educators, and innovators to create the digital technologies that change the way we learn, play, socialize, and participate in civic life. Since 2008, we have awarded over 9 million in funding to 102 of the most innovative digital media and learning projects in the U.S. and internationally. HASTAC is co-located in teams based at the University of California Humanities Research Institute and John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute at Duke University.
