Humanities Labs

Humanities Labs are multi-year programs designed around a theme and intended to drive change and innovation in our undergraduate humanities curriculum through new courses and student research opportunities. Like Emerging Networks, the Humanities Labs are intended to foster interdisciplinary research across humanities disciplines and the social and natural sciences, and to “vertically integrate” faculty, undergraduates and graduate students in shared research projects. A defining characteristic of a humanities lab is the team physically sharing a space and technology (digital, cartographic, etc.). This is intended to replicate the knowledge production environment we typically associate with the sciences.
