Earlier this month we were thrilled to see the official launch of a new Feminist Collaboratory! This inclusive space is designed for researchers and students in Media and Technology Studies and Women’s and Gender Studies and more broadly across the University of Alberta. Featuring a striking mural prepared by renowned YEG artist Emily Chu, the Collaboratory will host multiple research labs and initiatives that address the pressing need for social repair within our digital and research networks. Labs participating in the new space include kinomatics and the Centre for the Analysis of Relational Data (CARD).
