Project Abstract
The presentation will focus on the experience working as the Senior Intern/ Social Justice and Anti-racism intern of the HARC Lab. The HARC Lab’s work is dedicated to researching how best to assist homeless populations as well as researching the variables that affect individuals that may lead to homelessness. The internship focuses on educating the team on recent social justice movements and actively posts live updates on any news events that relate to the topics of social justice and anti-racism. Lab members are educated about opportunities to get involved in the social justice based movements as well as utilizing their voices to speak out against injustices happening. Lab members are encouraged to attend events and come back to the group to share what they learned. The duty of the intern also extends to leading discussions about accountability in each lab meeting in order to hear what everyone has done and to encourage lab members to share any knowledge they may have recently learned. The presentation will contain contact information for any future interns who are actively involved in social justice and/or any who feel strongly for social justice.
