“There is no one way to capture the diversity of human experiences.”
Lab Culture & Value
We value and appreciate each person’s unique lived experiences. Much like puzzle pieces, every one of us brings something distinct and important—and together, we create a lab environment that is welcoming, supportive, and intellectually stimulating.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The Culture and Language Lab is committed to promoting the success and wellbeing of individuals from all backgrounds. Every person is unique in meaningful ways—whether through race, gender, culture, sexual orientation, ability status, socioeconomic background, first-generation college status, and more. Our commitment is to actively work through our mentorship, research, teaching, and service, to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in our lab, department, university, and the broader communities. We aim to foster a respectful environment where all lab members can thrive both personally and professionally.
Lab Community
We believe that everyone has something valuable to offer. In our community, we encourage members to speak up, share perspectives, and engage in thoughtful conversations about differences. We are committed to continually growing and learning from each other. Through respectful communication and collaboration, we strive to build a lab community grounded in understanding, mutual support, and equal opportunity for all.
