The Humanities Action Lab

The Humanities Action Lab (HAL) — a high-impact social-justice coalition of universities, issue organizations, and exhibition spaces based in more than 40 cities.

Together, these schools and programs strengthen Hunter’s partnership with the East Harlem community through education, research, and service that responds to neighborhood priorities and contributes to the city’s broader civic life.
