2025-2026 Lab Members
In 2026, we are looking at college reading…
As a student-led research team at the University of Notre Dame, we are trying to understand students’ attitudes towards reading. Don’t worry: We’re not judging!
Interested in participating? Contact us to be interviewed (30-45mins) or complete our survey.

We Collect School Stories
School Story Lab is a student-run lab directed by Professor Susan D. Blum at the University of Notre Dame. We want to provide a place for people from all countries to talk about their experiences in all levels of schools: the joys and fears, triumphs and shame, friendships and loneliness, curiosity and boredom, and everything else that accompanies the experience of school. School is about what people learn, how people learn, what they don’t learn, who they learn with. We want to know what it feels like. Our current research is analyzing student’s experiences with reading. Tell us your story!
This project has received generous support from the Department of Anthropology, College of Arts and Letters, and the Kellogg Institute for International Studies at the University of Notre Dame.
