About the Lab
The Fundamental Needs Lab bridges the gap between those with plenty and those with plenty of need — documenting and mitigating biases against the impoverished, with attention to how poverty intersects with race, gender, and disability.
Led by Charles Crabtree (Senior Lecturer, Monash University; K-Club Professor, Korea University), the lab produces research across class-based discrimination, public opinion measurement, homelessness, and first-generation representation in the academy.
