Building a Community-Focused Laboratory: a talk with Dr. Max Liboiron, CLEAR

February 22, 12-1pm ET

 Collaborative laboratory spaces can model research that addresses the politics of knowledge production, professionalization, funding, ethics, and authorship. But where to begin? This event hosts Dr Max Liboiron, creator of the Civic Laboratory for Environmental Action Research (CLEAR), a feminist and anticolonial lab at Memorial University, Canada. Dr Liboiron will discuss the structures, strategies, and tactics of building a lab from the ground up, with a special emphasis on creating labs for community-based work. 

The event is hosted by Dr Nathan Matias, founder and director of the Citizens and Technology (CAT) Lab in the Communication Department at Cornell University. CAT Lab works with online communities to study the effects of technology on the public interest, envisioning a world where digital power is guided by evidence and accountable to the public.

This event will be recorded.
