The IDEA Lab at Vanderbilt University
The IDEA (Inclusive Digital Education and Analytics) Lab is located at Vanderbilt University in the Peabody College of Education and Human Development at 1400 18th Avenue South in Nashville, TN. Our research is focused on designing socially just and inclusive digital learning environments in engineering, computer science, and computational statistics. We also develop and implement innovative and inclusive analytics approaches to make sense of student learning.
Values and Commitments
The IDEA lab stands in solidarity with our Black, Brown, Latinx, AAPI, and Indigenous brothers and sisters who face brutality, violence, and inequities in their communities. Our work in education takes action to challenge historical and current systemic inequities and oppressive systems. We work with and for our children to conduct educational research that benefits them and their communities.
We collectively acknowledge that Vanderbilt University occupies the ancestral hunting and traditional Lands of the Cherokee, Shawnee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Creek peoples. Today, these people have nation boundaries in Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Mississippi, after the Indian Removal Act of 1830 led to the forced removal of southern tribes west of the Mississippi River. We recognize, support, and advocate for the Indigenous individuals and communities who live here now, and for those forcibly removed from their Homelands. For more information visit IndigenousVU.
