Demystifying language

Really fascinating project if you’re interested in research communication.

Everyone in the room was participating in the Demystifying Language Project (DLP), a research and social justice initiative to make scholarship on the politics of language available in public high schools. At that moment, we were all partners in a profound conversation about language and power.

Mapping the impact economy

Looking at using money to do good.

Innovation at work: the power of serendipity
