About Us
LEADR, the Lab for Education and Advancement in Digital Research, is a collaborative initiative between the History and Anthropology departments at Michigan State University.
Read others’ experience with LEADR
LEADR required us to step outside our comfort zones. The lab is a model for digital history learning and research labs. Our students, graduate and undergraduate, have taken what they have learned in LEADR and done things they never could have done in a traditional classroom.
Walter Hawthorne
Working with LEADR allowed my US Women’s History students to develop new skills and to take pride in making their work available to the public. LEADR worked with the students every step of the way so that they felt like they mastered the technology as well as the content.
Emily Conroy-Krutz
It’s been great, I’ve learned a lot. I got to teach students, make friends, and gain new skills. I made a 3D model, network graphs, and multiple maps to visualize elements for my dissertation. It’s a wonderful place to make community and learn about other people’s areas of research.
