Check out a student team project in HUL 250. They are analyzing the BLM movement's ability to tap into their digital networks to effect change on police funding. The team describes their main focus for this project: to analyze and research the effects that the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement has had on police funding in 2020. This will ultimately grant us more insight on the subject of BLM as far as its relation to social media activism that goes beyond awareness to effect change.

Meet Elisa Thomas, a student from our Spring 2021

Meet Elisa Thomas, a student from our Spring 2021 Information Overload Lab and the first feature for this semester’s Lab Notes series! We provided Elisa with a few quick prompts to learn more about her and her thoughts on being in the Lab. Read on to learn about her experience…

1. Why did you want to be a part of this Lab?
I wanted to be a part of this Lab because I am a Barrett student and I saw that the Humanities Lab qualifies for honors credit. Over the summer I became extremely interested in politics and the role misinformation and social media plays in our society. After reading the descriptions of each Humanities Lab, my interest piqued with the Information Overload Lab because it related to my previous interests.

2.What was your favorite aspect of the Lab?
My favorite aspect of the Lab were the readings provided by Drs. Justice and Simeone... It provided a holistic overview of the role information plays in our life and made for more robust discussions with classmates.

3. What type of impact outcome(s) did you work on?
My group is not complete with our project but we are working on tackling social media censorship and misinformation.

4. How has your perspective changed through this work/experience?
Throughout this experience I have become even more interested in the role information, specifically misinformation, plays in society. It affects people's perceptions of government and political figures, and can be very detrimental if abused. The pandemic and the 2020 election showed us just how pervasive and harmful misinformation can be.

5. Anything else you would like to add?
...It was a very engaging course that allowed me to express myself more freely than other courses I have taken!

In honor of Earth Month, we wanted to throw it back and feature some sustainability-related impact outcomes produced by previous Labs! Read on to learn more about three outstanding works:

-“Life on Mars” is a website simulation created by a team from our Life Without Earth Lab in the Spring 2020 semester. This simulation implores individuals to reflect on what life would be like without Earth, and imagine what a future on Mars would entail if Earth becomes uninhabitable to humans. Visit the website to immerse yourself in the researched and realistic details of an imagined future on Mars!

-A team from the Fall 2020 Why is the Amazon Burning? Lab put together a digital story map titled “The True Repercussions: Extractivism from A to AZ. The map provides information about specific extractive projects conducted by transnational corporations that are effecting the environments from the Amazon to Arizona. Scroll through the map to see, hear, and understand the dire impacts of exploiting natural resources!

-Two students from the Performing the Anthropocene Lab in Fall 2020 produced a short performance film titled “World in Confinement.” This performance piece explores the impact of humans on the environment and the importance of changing behaviors to better take care of the Earth. Watch the video to see a creative visual representation of the connection between people and nature!

Say hello to RaNiyah Taylor (right), a student fro

Say hello to RaNiyah Taylor (right), a student from our Fall 2020 Disrupting Dis/Ability Lab -- now a student in our Spring 2021 Beyond the Lab program!

Taylor and her Lab team have been leading an effort to create an accessibility ‘layer’ on ASU's Interactive Map in collaboration with ASU’s ADA Compliance and the University Technology Office. The work is an impact outcome project originally developed in the Lab that has become an extended effort through the Humanities Lab Beyond the Lab program. As we post this - today, March 19th - the "Mapping Access" team will be leading a volunteer opportunity on the ASU West campus serving as the groundwork for the West campus' accessibility layer.

When we first caught up with Taylor back in the Disrupting Dis/Ability Lab she shared with us that she was, “first attracted to this Lab because disability rights [have] always been something that [have] been close to my heart.” She noted that her mom is a special education teacher and has been an influence on her desire to advocate for "everyone's human rights." Taylor worked with an organization during high school (in Minnesota) that allowed her to "help adults with intellectual disabilities create their own narratives and advocate for themselves to state senators and representatives at the Minnesota State Capitol." She says that she, "knew this Lab would be a way for me to get back to my passion," and that it has opened her eyes to issues of accessibility and lack thereof, making her “such a better ally to the disabled community." Her favorite aspect of the Lab was the “atmosphere” and how all Lab members would “encourage, inspire, and uplift each other.”

The Disrupting DisAbility Lab was an action-based collaborative experience that sought to uncover the social structures that influence how disability is viewed and treated. The Beyond the Lab program is an is an extension of the Humanities Lab, and faculty-student team collaborations. Want to learn more - visit our bio link.

A big thanks to Taylor for giving us a sneak peek into her Lab experience!

ASU Humanities Lab: Aging in American Culture (Fal

ASU Humanities Lab: Aging in American Culture (Fall 2021- Join us!)

American culture has become obsessed with a decline ideology of older age – an ideology emphasizing the social and cultural exclusion of people as they age. Yet, older adulthood is increasing a larger part of the life course. Indeed, the majority of the life-span could not be considered 'older' age. This Lab investigates what it means to age in American culture. Through examining our bodies and selves, the Lab will encourage students to explore how our interaction with the environment affects our embodied understanding of the aging process.
