Through workshops and staffed drop-in hours, the ERC provides the Barnard community with empirical research support and technology training, ranging from Excel, to survey creation, to geographic information systems (GIS).
The lab is staffed by graduate lab assistants and undergraduate empirical reasoning fellows dedicated to supporting empirical reasoning across the curriculum. We also have a full-time team that teaches workshops, manages the lab, and plans programming.
Through this inaugural collaboration with Design Summer Institute, the College empowers and equips young women to pursue careers in architecture and design.
Barnard’s Empirical Reasoning Center has grown exponentially over the decade — from a lab with part-time staff to a thriving resource for faculty, students, staff, and the community beyond the College’s gates.
