About Us

EnviroLab is a five-college initiative at the Claremont Colleges and is anchored at Claremont McKenna College. The initiative is designed to facilitate interdisciplinary communication and collaboration. It aims to train students, faculty, and staff to become active practitioners of change who develop sustainable and socially just policy-relevant solutions to environmental challenges in Asia, with a focus on East and Southeast Asia. EnviroLab strives to foster a process of mutual discovery, where we work together with international and regional partners to study, test, and evaluate methods and measures to address environmental problems in Asia.

Mission

EnviroLab is an initiative at the Claremont Colleges funded by the Henry Luce Foundation’s Luce Initiative on Asian Studies and the Environment (LIASE) Program. This initiative is a laboratory for cross-disciplinary research and experiential learning that links knowledge with practice. Through intellectual exchange between the humanities and social sciences, environmental analysis, and other disciplines, we explore relevant topics and generate new scholarship about environmental issues in Asia. Our research involves communities and partner institutions in the US and Asia. We aim to address environmental problems in Asia through interdisciplinary communication and collaboration in a globalized world.
