Meet Shearel Cohen, a student from our Spring 2021 Intro Interdisciplinary Research Lab and this week’s feature for our Lab Notes series! We provided Shearel 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. I wanted to be a part of this Lab because…
I am attracted to unique and interesting opportunities. Initially, I had no clue what a Humanities Lab was and I think this is what made me so interested. I also really enjoyed the idea of participating in a project-based class...

2. My favorite aspect of the lab was…
My favorite aspect of the Lab was that I got to learn about something I had no previous knowledge of. Furthermore, through group work and research into a social movement of my choice, I was able to develop collaboration skills... 
3. How has your perspective changed through this work/experience?
...Such complex issues require an equally complex approach which can only be achieved through the application of various ideas, understandings, and efforts. In other words, I believe I have achieved what this course has set out to do: equip students with an understanding of how interdisciplinarity is utilized to solve complex social issues.

Meet Santiago Valle, a student in our Spring 2021 Feeling Climate Uncertainty Lab! We provided Santiago with some prompts to learn more about him and his experience in the Lab. Read on to get a glimpse into his experience…

1.     I wanted to be a part of this Lab because...
I wanted to better understand the climate change crisis and learn/understand what I can do help bring awareness and change.

2.     My favorite aspect of the Lab was...
The authenticity. Not your typical classroom setting. The Lab involved a lot of dialogue among [us] which was challenging at first but led to a great experience.

3.     What type of impact outcome(s) did you work on?
How to make the climate crisis an everyday conversation and have people discuss their feelings on the subject. How do we get people to talk about climate change the way they do sports, celebrities, movies, etc.? And also providing a few eco tarot card readings to friends and family.

4.     How has your perspective changed through this work/ experience?
I never really paid any attention to my emotions. As a man you’re taught to not show any as they make you look weak. That is false. Emotions can be powerful and used as instruments to bring about change.

5.     Anything else you would like to add...?
Wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I signed up for this Lab but I’m glad I did. The make-up of the lab and how it was instructed was unlike any other lab or course I’ve taken; it was unique and great to experience.

Meet Grace Klein, a student from our Spring 2021 Information Overload Lab and this week’s feature in our Lab Notes series! We provided Grace 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?

In searching for a class to count for my humanities credit, I stumbled upon Information Overload and was immediately intrigued. I didn't know all that the lab entailed initially, but I took the course and it definitely didn't disappoint!

2. What was your favorite aspect of the Lab?

I really enjoyed the fact that we had a specific subtopic or question to answer each week. It gave each of the students a framework with which to explore ideas we had maybe never thought about before. I also really looked forward to writing up my discussion board post each week and assembling all of my ideas into one succinct thought to share and explore with other students.

3. What type of impact outcome(s) did you work on?

My teammates and I created a survey to assess how and where COVID-19 information was affecting people and how that volume of information was impacting different demographics. We then created a PowerPoint discussing our findings.

4. How has your perspective changed through this work/ experience?

I have found that this lab has helped me to grow my critical thinking skills. Even though this course is over, I still find myself coming back to the questions and ideas we played around with. The questions and process of thinking used in this lab don't leave you once the class ends. Researching information, what it is, who controls it, and how it should be regulated has given me a new appreciation and fresh perspective as I navigate the culture and political conversations of the day.

Join our Humanities Lab team in congratulating 🎉 Parker Marano who recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Digital Culture (Graphic Information Technology) from the School of Arts, Media and Engineering! 🔱

Marano joined our Humanities Lab team in Fall 2020 as a Communications Assistant and has been a true partner and team player - who has an exceptional gift for web-based work. We are surely going to miss his effort and energy and want to thank him for his kind share (read on) about his experience in the Lab.

“Although I had never taken a Humanities Lab course during my time at ASU, seeing and reading the work of the students in the Labs gave me an appreciation for the space the Humanities Lab has created to tackle these big issues. My favorite, especially, was looking through the hard work of the students in their Impact Outcome projects, and the wide variety between them. There was a lot of thought and passion put into them, from films to art pieces to research papers. For me, while working as an assistant for the Humanities Lab I was encouraged to hone the skills I learned from my classes, making me feel more prepared to tackle the world after graduating. I am grateful for the Humanities Lab team for allowing me the space to grow and stretch my creativity in all avenues. I greatly encourage anyone to take a Lab or even just take a look at the work being done here!”

Join us in congratulating Casey Cole a newly minted ASU grad with a Master of Arts in Ethnomusicology! Cole is a student from our Spring 2020 Lab, Sound & Well-Being, who subsequent to her course experience joined our Humanities Lab team as a student Communications Assistant.

Cole has been a major asset to our team. We will miss her strong work ethic and the many talents that she has shared with the Lab. It looks like we may have left a mark on her too ... read on to hear a little about her experience.

"Being a part of the Humanities Lab was a wonderful experience and provided me with many opportunities for growth! Through the Sound and Well-Being Lab, I was able to step outside the bounds of a traditional educational model and engage hands-on with this challenging and relevant topic. I really enjoyed getting to work with students, faculty, and community members of varying interests and expertise; it was truly a collaborative environment. I have always desired to apply my research interests to explore potential solutions to issues, and the Humanities Lab allowed me to do just that in a safe and supportive environment. I developed many skills through my Lab experience which aided me in completing my degree and I know will continue to be valuable in the future. I highly recommend taking a Humanities Lab course during your time as a student at ASU!"

Cole's Masters thesis is titled “Do Elementary School Music Teachers Utilize Music to Support Student Mental Health? A Small Survey of Educators and A Proposed Resource Website;” her future plans are to remain in the Tempe area where she will be kicking-off her career.

Meet Eryka Molino, a student from our Spring 2021

Meet Eryka Molino, a student from our Spring 2021 ArtScience: COVID Response Lab and the latest feature in our Lab Notes series! We provided Eryka with a few quick prompts to learn more about her and her experience in the Lab. Swipe and scroll to read along ...

1. Why did you want to be a part of this Lab?
… Prior to the lab, I was certified as a covid contact tracer through the John Hopkins course, and I worked in an emergency department where I saw the clinical symptoms of the disease. I was excited to bring what I had learned through both of these experiences and culminate it into a project that would allow me to share the information in an easily digestible way through ArtScience.

2. What was your favorite aspect of the Lab?
…I loved learning about how ArtScience has been a useful tool in navigating the intimidating world of wet labs, and hard sciences, and epidemiology reports, and everything else that sounds big, scary, and hard to understand. This information should be available to the public, in a way that everyone who wants to learn about it can understand.

3. What type of impact outcome(s) did you work on?
I worked with Dr. Hale and other students in the course to find the overall positives that happened in higher education that resulted from the pandemic through a literature search.

4. How has your perspective changed through this work/experience?
… In the example of covid, there are constantly new updates and new information to learn. And there may exist a lag and general mistrust between the experts and the general information. ArtScience has shown me that it can help bridge that gap, by marrying the positives of the science initiatives and art initiatives.

EARTH DAY SUSTAINABLE FASHION LAB TAKEOVER with @A

EARTH DAY SUSTAINABLE FASHION LAB TAKEOVER with @ASUFashionProgram

Garment End of Life and Disposal

—-

The apparel industry is one of the largest manufacturing sectors in the world, and production is only growing due to the rise of “fast fashion” - mass production of trendy designs at low cost and record speed by sacrificing quality. More clothing items are discarded quicker, the majority landing in landfills and contributing to chemical pollution and microparticles. There Is no one recipe to sustainability, it is a complex issue that should be tackled from multiple angles. The last section of the fashion industry’s blockchains “end of life and disposal,” which refers to discarding and handling waste after a product has been used. The sustainable end goal for this section is to eliminate disposal and turn “end of life” into a transformation into new life through a circular system. Some examples of this are recycling, upcycling, waste minimization, and reducing both production and consumption.

A promising sustainable method is zero waste fashion design, which tackles waste at the source, as well as a circular industry, which reuse fabric nearly in its entirety to minimize the need for new raw materials. To tackle consumer waste, educating communities on basic sewing skills and normalizing upcycling and thrifting greatly improves waste reduction, as consumers form strong attachments to clothes they have made or personalized, and many enjoy the added freedom of expression and creativity. The idea of the “prosumer” as opposed to the consumer is likely to be the future of sustainable fashion. “Prosumers” are at the same time consumers and producers of apparel by means of do-it-yourself and co-creation; this way, consumers can even find small business opportunities and further encourage a cultural shift!
