The Lab’s HASTAC Scholar: Ainsley Anderson!

Ainsley Anderson is a sophomore at Tulane University, pursuing a double major in economics and environmental studies. As a member of the Newcomb Scholars feminist research cohort, she is passionate about exploring ways to incorporate feminist perspectives into her work. She is fascinated by the connections between economics, the environment, and social justice, and hopes to use her education to make a positive impact in these areas. When not studying or conducting research, you can find her roaming New Orleans or listening to some live music.

Her dome project is being funded by the HASTAC grant! Read more about the fellowship program here: https://hastac.hcommons.org/about/hastac-scholars/

Society of Women Engineers is an organization that inspires students to achieve their full potential as engineers. Tulane's chapter focuses on supporting, encouraging, and providing women engineers, and members of the STEM community, with the means to succeed throughout their college career and beyond. The SWE chapter provides outreach opportunities within the greater New Orleans community. The executive board has bi-weekly meetings where they discuss, plan, and coordinate future general body meetings, study help, professional development, and more.

Equity in Technology acts as a dynamic resource for the campus by providing space for feminist-minded technologists of all majors and interests to connect with an interdisciplinary community of like-minded peers. Students are welcome from all majors and those with all levels of technology abilities. Within this group, students are encouraged to explore social and cultural issues involving technology and interdisciplinary applications of technology innovation through curriculum and service.
