News + Events

Ideas in the lab often emerge through fieldwork, project reviews, and sustained interaction with public agencies, service providers, and communities. What begins as an operational constraint can evolve into a research program or long-term collaboration.

Selected seminars, workshops, and events are shared publicly when possible. Materials may be made available as part of the lab’s research outputs.
