CCSRE announces 2022-23 cohort of Technology & Racial Equity Graduate Fellows
The Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity (CCSRE), in partnership with the Ethics, Society and Technology Hub is pleased to announce our new cohort of Technology & Racial Equity Graduate Fellows for 2022-23. This highly accomplished cohort includes twelve graduate students whose disciplinary expertise ranges from computer science to communications, from education to environmental engineering. The 2022-23 cohort will work together to develop public-facing projects that expand knowledge about racial justice and technology. This project-based fellowship provides resources and space for graduate students to collaborate with peers on projects that do not fit into their traditional research portfolio, with an emphasis on public-facing and community engaged work.
