We provide technical assistance with programmatic design, offer guidance to faculty and research teams, and contribute to knowledge production through curricular development and educational offerings. Our expertise in technology and AI policy, combined with our understanding of ethical dilemmas and commitment to advancing racial justice, allows us to shape the next generation of tech policy leaders.
