Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
The research convergence we enable at the Institute emerges from the communities we build. We value and are stronger for the diversity, equity, and inclusion in those communities.
Working to Foster an Inclusive Community
The Hariri Institute works to improve diversity and foster an inclusive community by:
- Incorporating DEI into the Hariri Institute’s strategic planning
- Developing DEI as core values within the Institute by providing the resources, below
- Implementing strategies to support diversity in hiring, retention, and growth within the Institute’s staff
- Supporting and developing research around DEI issues like algorithmic fairness, innovative data collection methods that respect anonymity, or methodologies for estimating and closing gender and racial wage gaps
- Evaluating the Institute’s progress in meeting DEI objectives annually
