Engaging in Interdisciplinary Research

Current research collaborations and scholarly work through Project AROS Lab and its partners span a variety of engagement areas. They include themes on culture and art, archives and memory politics, digital methods and technology, and environment and social change.

Featured Projects

Our current faculty-student collaborations produce a range of research outputs, including interactive ArcGIS StoryMaps, program assessment reports, presentation decks and slides, and surveys, that translate work on justice, memory, rights, and technology into public scholarship. Story Maps offer visual, navigable narratives, but they represent only a selection of what the lab produces. Rather than duplicate this material here, we host the full, continually updated selection of StoryMaps on our research output site.

Thematic Research Categories

Covers government and public policy, transitional justice, alternative justice mechanisms, and policymaking in global and local contexts.

Explores the societal impact of artificial intelligence, digital methodologies, and their role in shaping governance, healthcare, activism, and faculty career development in higher education.

Examines climate governance, indigenous and gender-inclusive adaptation strategies, sustainability, and social enterprise initiatives and environmental risks.

Focuses on memory politics, performative justice, queer geographies, youth activism, and the role of arts in shaping social movements and resistance.
