What is the role of a “makerspace” in the Liberal Arts? How have institutions adapted the form of maker labs to meet and enhance their unique needs for learning and research? How can the model of making and fabrication be leveraged to enhance openness, equity and inclusion across the Liberal Arts curriculum? Ian Roy (Brandeis University) and Jordan Tynes (Wellesley College) will discuss their experiences developing programs for scholarly innovation through technology at their individual institutions. These programs support an important academic mindset that students and faculty develop while working in design and fabrication labs. They will share strategies for organizational support and instructional programs that help create the physical and theoretical space for academic communities to engage in innovation & entrepreneurship.

Ian Roy is the Director for Research Technology and Innovation in Brandeis University’s Library. He is also the Founding Head of the Brandeis MakerLab and an Adjunct Professor at the Brandeis International Business School – and a Lecturer in the Anthropology Department.

Jordan Tynes, Co-Director of the Media Arts & Sciences Program and Hess Fellow/Visiting-Lecturer in Computer Science at Wellesley College, strives to enable previously unexplored ways of teaching, learning, conducting research, and communicating scholarly efforts through immersive technologies and other playable media.
