Affiliated Labs and Organizations
Graduate students may have the opportunity to contribute to affiliated labs and organizations at NYU. Two examples are:
Local Contexts is a global initiative that supports Indigenous communities with tools that can reassert cultural authority in heritage collections and data. By focusing on Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property and Indigenous Data Sovereignty, Local Contexts helps Indigenous communities repatriate knowledge and gain control over how data is collected, managed, displayed, accessed, and used in the future.
The Visiting Lab is a collaborative research lab based in Indigenous feminist ethics. Located in the NYU Metro Center, The Visiting Lab’s commitments are to social change, supportive openness, and collaboration and collaborative writing. We are committed to the knowledge of everyday people to futures in which Indigenous social theory and understandings of relations between humans, between more-than-human-kin, and between lands and waters can be prioritized.
