Diversity
- Strong, impactful social science research requires diverse cadres of scholars who can fully engage in all aspects of the research process.
- The high quality social science at ISR requires teams composed of staff and faculty whose contributions are understood to be equally valuable.
- We believe in a responsibility to share social science research resources broadly with scholars who are members of groups that are underrepresented in academic research.
