In this episode of our podcast series, we travel to IA Member institutions: Michigan State University – where the HIVES Research Lab is located, and University of Southern California – where the Fifty One Miles project is housed.

Funding has been provided by California Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) as part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
