The Global Lab.
We use digital media and creative scholarship to connect people and ideas.
We foster collaborative processes, where practitioners, community members, researchers, and students work together to build a sustainable, resilient, and just future.
We build on WPI’s network of domestic and international project centers to experiment and learn about the power of community-engaged action research.
