What We Do

Database Development

We build custom databases, ranging in style and functionality, for research-driven projects. Working closely with our project partners we ensure our work aligns with their goals and overall vision.

Data Communication via Design

Our team carries out small-scale graphic design projects for social media visuals, Data Lab brand management, website user interface designs, or inclusion in the Data Lab’s yearly zine.

Data Visualization and Mapping

We create data visualizations to gain insights into our databases and interpret trends. These visuals are often integrated into interactive dashboards.

Digital Archiving

Our team preserves and organizes research materials for long-term access and reuse. Helping our project partners securely store their work and making it discoverable for future analysis and collaboration.

Web Development

Custom web developments showcase project research in an accessible and engaging digital experience, bringing projects online to reflect the style, mission, and audience of each project.

Data Entry and Cleaning

To prepare data for analysis and ensure the accuracy and consistency of our work, we perform formatting corrections, remove duplicates, and verify data to produce high-quality results.

Our Projects

Murphy Institute

This project focuses on the extent to which restrictions on residency positions and physician training opportunities have contributed to escalating healthcare costs.

This Beautiful Sisterhood of Books (BSB)

 After the 1884 New Orleans World’s Fair the physical collection of Maud Howe’s library was scattered and lost. BSB aims to recover these materials and digitize them.

Monuments

This project focuses on creating and organizing a database on monuments that will be made publicly available for educational use and outside research.

Feminist Pedagogy for Teaching Online (FPTO)

FPTO is a guide that provides resources about integrating feminist pedagogy into online, hybrid, and traditional undergraduate courses.

Center for Sport

This project focuses on organizing and displaying a database containing information on who is working within the sports industry as an executive with the goal being that sports law students can have access to this recourse to see who to connect with.

MAC

At the Mary Amelia Center for Women’s Health Equity Research (MAC), we believe that opportunities for health begin where people are born, grow, learn, work, and play and are shaped by the policies and systems that form the foundation of our society. We envision a world where all people are afforded equal opportunity to achieve their full potential for a happy and healthy life.

The DRI works on data visualizations for MAC reports. 

Frances Gaudet Legacy Project

The Frances Gaudet Legacy Project aims to share widely the example of her extraordinary life in order to guide and inspire similar work in our present times. We are pursuing this aim through extensive research, focusing particularly on her work in education and prison reform in the greater New Orleans area. We also seek opportunities to bring her story to wider audiences.

Kallion

Kallion is a non-profit started over 5 years ago. They provide leadership development programming for those who study/work with humanities. They are working to incorporate leadership development into pre-existing education programming.

The DRI interns work on cleaning and organizing the Kallion website. 

Zine

We make a zine every year to show off our work and explore our interests in data and technology!
