SWEET Co(LAB)orative
The SWEET Col(LAB)orative is an environmental studies research group. We use a range of quantitative and qualitative tools to study science and society. Global environmental problems necessitate a diverse group of minds, bodies, and lives coming together to imagine (and then achieve!) conserving and sustaining natural and human communities in ethical ways.
We do this while also working to: create space to be our full(er) selves, address positionality and power in our research and teams, do "open" research without extraction.
We are located on unceded Seneca Nations (Onöndowa'ga) lands.
Research

Environmental Policy and Ecosystem Health
We are interested in the interplay between policy, bureaucracy, and animals at landscape scales. Our focus is always in systems with human communities, and often with a lens onto how environmental outcomes shape human health.

Feminist Biology
Biology is a human endeavor, shaped by individual and institutional biases. This includes sexism and gender bias. Feminist biology is an approach to biology that explicitly acknowledges these historic and current biases at the micro- and macro-levels, from the naming of species, to prize awarding, to study methods.

Open and Accessible Scholarship
In fieldwork and informatics based work, SWEET is committed to inclusion, accessibility, and reproducibility. In particular, we focus on disability access and inclusion (or lack thereof) in open science.
