Philosophy, Racism,
and Science

The Studio Lab focuses on philosophical issues, primarily ethics, at the intersection or racism, in science. We are currently focusing on anti-capitalism, de-colonial theory, place-based ethical practices, to critique 

western science and methodologies.

and Environmental Racism

The Studio Lab focuses on environmental issues and injustices at the intersection or racism, particularly anti-Black and anti-indigenous violences. We partner with community based organizations, activists, and agencies, who center ethics and place-based processes, in their work.

The Studio Lab researches and works on values-based ways to communicate about scientific issues. Currently we are focusing on the science of storytelling as well as oral tradition as a primary mode of scientific knowledge transmission.
