NEA Puts NuLawLab at Center Stage
Rarely does the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) look to a law school when funding the arts and education, but with a $150,000 grant to Northeastern Law’s NuLawLab, law is on center stage with the arts. NuLawLab is joining with local partners at Northeastern and in East Boston to launch the East Boston Spatial Justice Lab, a project that will work to understand and measure how the arts, advocacy and cultural organizing for housing justice can strengthen residents’ wellbeing and the community’s relationship to belonging, healing and revitalization. The project is also supported by a $200,000 grant to Maverick Landing Community Services from The Kresge Foundation.
