Lab Values

These values are inspired by the Design Justice principles, Hammer, To, & Cruz's Lab Counterculture paper, and the CoALA Lab principles.

​

We prioritize well-being over productivity. We embrace rest as a proactive measure for our wellness.

​

We are collaborative. We offer mutual support, and generously share our ideas, time, and resources with each other. We give each other truthful, constructive feedback.

​

We are curious. We embrace hard problems, and attend to justice and equity at every step of our work.

​

We conduct the highest quality research. Good research comes from sound research processes. This means that we check our data deeply, and truthfully represent the complexity of our findings.

​

We prioritize the impacts of our research on the communities with whom we work. We engage in processes that hold us accountable for the effects of our work. 

​

We respect everyone's unique, intersectional identities. This lab is a space for those who have been marginalized in research and by research. We specifically embrace the knowledge of Black, Indigenous, queer, and woman scholars.

​

I expect all lab members to behave in a way that reflects these values, myself included. I encourage mutual accountability within our community to uphold these values.  I believe that through upholding these values, we can make this lab a space where impactful, meaningful, and challenging research is done.
