About the lab
The “Abolition for All Time” Humanities Lab is an interdisciplinary space that invites collaborators of all skill levels to produce digital and creative scholarship. Grounded in the College’s abolitionist roots, many of our projects examine abolition as both a historical legacy and as a framework for imagining more just futures.
As the first and only Digital Humanities lab on campus, we are a growing community dedicated to experimenting with digital tools and methodologies in humanities research. We support a wide range of public-facing and collaborative projects that bridge academic inquiry with broader civic engagement.
For more information about what the Abolition Lab offers, please visit the lab on the first floor of Seymour Library or contact us to set up an appointment. Tutorials, equipment, and room reservations are available on our Resources Page.
The Abolition Lab is generously supported by an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s “Humanities for All Times” grant.
