Arizona State University Foundation

Arizona State University (ASU)’s center for Narrative and Emerging Media (NEM), located in downtown Los Angeles, is a new program that aims to provide research, teaching, and convening with a goal of diversifying the demographics of who gets to create and distribute narratives using emerging media technologies in arts, culture, and nonfiction. In a March 2022 design charrette, NEM workshops the design of the NEM program with leaders from academia, philanthropy, local community leaders, new media industry professionals, and film and television producers. The goal of this gathering is to determine how to involve the right community and industry partners, and how the NEM can effectively achieve its goal of diversifying the future of emerging media creators.

The Arizona State University Foundation’s mission is to ensure the success of Arizona State University as a "New American University." This project, "Combating Criminal Involvement in Nuclear Trafficking," will analyze past, present, and potential future roles of non-ideological criminals (including corrupt officials) in trafficking of nuclear material and of dual-use nuclear equipment and technology and will develop and disseminate multifaceted and specific recommendations for how to deter, detect, and disrupt their involvement. Funds will be used for principal investigator, consultant and graduate assistant salaries and fringe benefits, support for a workshop and dissemination of results.
