The mission of the HEAR Lab is to build the capacity of scholars to create and disseminate collaborative, accessible, nondiscriminatory research that centers community and fuels social change. 
 
CULTIVATE - We host activities, trainings, and events aimed at raising awareness of anti-racist approaches and supporting reflection and conversation about ourselves and our work.  We know that nondiscriminatory research is produced by scholars committed to beingnondiscriminatory.


CONNECT - We provide support to better connect scholars to one another, to connect research to policy, and connect academic researchers to community experts


AMPLIFY - We generate and disseminate products that increase the reach of research findings to a variety of audiences to increase the public impact of scholarly work
