Benefit:
Ensuring a range of voices and perspectives in the policymaking process
As visiting residents in the Tech and Narrative Lab, technology fellows will work closely with Pardee RAND lab directors, graduate students, RAND researchers, and other fellows. They will design and run experiments, addressing complex policy problems and uncovering the implications of new technologies on communities and society. RAND will extend fellowship invitations to colleges and universities with students and faculty from underrepresented minority groups as well as to first-generation college students. We will also attract fellows from community organizations, local government, and the business sector.
Desired outcome:
A more diverse, widely disseminated understanding of the policy implications of new technologies and tools for change
