    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. These projects exemplify IA’s focus on arts-oriented community-engaged scholarship that cuts across institutional hierarchies, and expands our understanding of the interconnectedness and interdependence that drives our multispecies worlds.
