The Humanities Research Center funds a number of labs and projects from DKU and Duke faculty with a DKU connection. Please see our ongoing call for proposals.
Humanities Labs
Humanities Labs engage undergraduates in advanced research alongside faculty and graduate student mentors/collaborators from DKU and Duke. Organized around a central theme, each lab brings together at least two faculty and students from the humanities and other disciplines in interdisciplinary, vertically integrated research projects. Labs may be co-located at Duke.
- The PETAL Humanities Lab (2018-2019) supports research on planetary ethics and artificial intelligence.
