What We Do

The Global Lab is a living lab space to learn about, explore, apply, test, and assess creative ways to transform research and education. The Lab offers opportunities and resources for creative scholarship around an expansive notion of community-based action research. It is a place to experiment and learn about community engagement, justice and equity collaborations, and integrative research and pedagogy.
