New Humanities Lab Projects

Current Projects

The New Humanities Lab at the IUPUI Arts & Humanities Institute (IAHI) is seeking enthusiastic and curious undergraduate interns for an immersive internship experience. As an intern, you will be part of team-based, community-engaged research projects that address contemporary problems through interdisciplinary collaboration.

This internship offers an opportunity to explore the ways in which the humanities (working in tandem with arts, social science, and STEMM disciplines) can help address important societal issues. In the process, students will develop knowledge, skills, and competencies that will both extend their classroom experience and make them more competitive in the job market.

Students who participate in the program in 2023 and 2024 will have the opportunity to participate in several ongoing projects:

  • The A&H podcast series: interns working on this project will develop skills in project management, storytelling, audio engineering and editing, interviewing, researching, and engaging with listeners effectively.

  • The IUPUI Public Art App: interns working on this project will develop skills in web development, user experience design, historical analysis, historical GIS, and digital curation.

  • ARchive: interns working on this project will develop skills in developing augmented reality apps, content curation, problem-solving, and project management while working on a project that focuses on understanding the history of social justice in Indianapolis.

Previous Projects

Students who participated in the program in 2021 and 2022 worked on The COVID-19 Oral History Project (based at the IAHI) and The Journal of the Plague Year: A COVID-19 Archive (based at Arizona State University).
