Humanities Lab Events
Check back here for New Events
Throughout their semester-long learning experience, Humanities Labs students develop impact outcomes—thoroughly collaborative and interdisciplinary final deliverables— that manifest their new understanding of the Lab's grand social challenges.
This semester, the Humanities Lab is host to three Labs: Avanzando: Education Pathways, Justice through School Gardens, and Humanizing Digital Culture. After thinking critically to design their impact outcomes, students in these Labs have either planned events or prepared work for events to disseminate their discoveries to the wider public. See below for a schedule of these events.
Please note that, unless specified otherwise, no prior registration is necessary to attend any of these events.
Event Schedule
1. Guns, Art-Making, and Truth: Public Dialogues on Gun Culture (inspired by Fourth Responders)
April 15–29, 2024
Arizonans are in need of dialogue that brings them together to seek connection and understanding in the face of gun violence and debates surrounding gun laws and regulations. For this event, student-contributors will collaborate with each other and a faculty teaching team as well as local citizen groups and community experts focused on gun-related issues. They will design and curate a series of short presentation/performance pieces such as TED-style talks, documentary films, musical and movement-based performances, and/or mixed-media projects. The event will promote creative“4th Responder” work in the community. The exhibits of the event will interweave humanities and arts-based research to incorporate lived experiences, critical engagement with controversial perspectives on guns and rights, and visions for a sustainable future that embraces safety and security in every community.
