关于联合实验室

而不是中心, 我们采用“协作实验室”模式, foregrounding the dynamism and future orientation of our work and goals.

我们的模式:合作实验室

RWU的联合实验室汇集了学者, 学生, and members of the larger community committed to engaged learning and 奖学金 in the arts and humanities with a justice and equity lens. RWU的联合实验室 fosters interdisciplinary connections among 教师 and informs their research, 奖学金, 创造性的工作, 和教学. RWU的联合实验室 stages opportunities for 学生 and scholars to learn from our community partners about their histories, 遗产, 和文化. RWU的联合实验室 brokers relationships among 学生, 教师, and members of the community and enables historically-informed engagement on social problems. RWU的联合实验室 prepares future generations of professionals to enter into the world equipped with cultural humility and the capacity to engage equitably and justly with others. 的Co-Lab at WU develops new methods and models for doing this kind of work across disciplines. RWU的联合实验室使方法民主化, empowering and supporting community members who seek to tell their own stories in ways that are meaningful to them and to all of us.

“协作” describes the central role that our engagement and community partnerships have in our work, as well as our focus on interdisciplinary collaboration. This model also signals our commitment to connecting this effort to the One RWU plan, 在普罗维登斯合作, 布里斯托尔, 和法学院校园.

“实验室” 表示练习的空间, 应用程序, 课程, and 奖学金 based on values of innovation and experimentation. 不仅仅是一个学习或研究的物理空间, the collaborative laboratory also seeks to open up and occupy 公共空间 为了对话、参与和探究.
