Center for Equitable Policy in a Changing World

A non-partisan research center founded to investigate how changes in society, the environment, and the digital world affect public policy and dedicated to sharing knowledge via public education. ~~Our Mission~~ The Center for Equitable Policy in a Changing World is committed to an interdisciplinary suite of methodologies. It seeks to combine the research questions and analytical framework of the social sciences with the processing power of data science to answer questions in a way that solely qualitative or quantitative organizations do not. A healthy democracy is dependent on a politically active, informed citizenry and denizenry. In order to engage successfully, people must be educated so that they can effectively understand and place political activity into its social and historical contexts and ultimately make decisions that reflect the nexus of their interests and the integrity of the democratic process. Research is most effective at influencing politics, policy, and public discourse when paired with open-access, entertaining, articulate writing, discussion, and consultation from a range of voices and perspectives. The most influential works both edify and entertain. ~~Our Research~~ The Center focuses on several broad areas of investigation: - Climate and environmental justice - Restorative justice as a framework for equitable change - Voting, elections, & politics in our digital society - Migration, demographic change, and multicultural communities
