The Humanities Action Lab

The Humanities Action Lab is a collaborative project connecting universities and communities to address critical social issues through humanities-based research and activism. Students, faculty, and community members work together to develop public exhibitions, discussions, and campaigns that highlight local and global challenges such as climate change, immigration, and racial justice. By combining academic inquiry with active community engagement, the lab encourages tangible social change, fostering deeper understanding and collective action. It promotes the idea that humanities—like history, literature, and culture—are powerful tools for understanding complex problems and inspiring positive societal impact.
