What We Do

Greenhouse Studios creates space for curious minds. Grounded in the humanities, we use art and technology to expand the boundaries of scholarship and learning. Whether making new things or facilitating new perspectives, equitable collaboration is at the core of what we do.

Collaborative Culture

As a scholarly research lab, we have created a unique workspace—a scholarly communications design studio—which establishes a “collaboration first” approach that brings a diverse team of people together to create original works of research. We are dedicated to addressing the persistent, intertwined problems of workflow and hierarchy with a mission that equally values all stakeholders involved in producing scholarship. Everyone has a seat at the table and a voice in the conversation.

Our Design Process

Greenhouse Studios is forging a new model of inquiry-driven, collaboration-first scholarly production. The Greenhouse Studios design process begins with a team of people and an inquiry-focused prompt posed externally by Greenhouse Studios. It is the externality of the prompt that puts people and collaboration at the center of the Greenhouse Studios process, rather than the needs of a particular faculty researcher. Teams are composed of diverse talents—librarians, faculty, students, artists, developers, acquisition editors and other publishing professionals, and others. Phases of the design process are organized around intensive working “sprints” punctuated by interim products to allow iterative progress and multiple concurrent projects.
