WITH DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND BELONGING efforts at universities and other institutions across the country under scrutiny, Harvard Kennedy School experts explain why we need to care about equity, and how research that addresses questions of equity can benefit not just a few people, but everyone.
Our faculty members speak about evidence for equity in a new series of videos. And you can read some of their ideas in this collection of articles. Associate Professor of Public Policy Mark Shepard explains, “Our goal is to demonstrate that the pursuit of excellence and equity are intertwined, that these values are not in tension but in fact reinforce one another, and that by centering excellence in equity, we can create a more just, fair, and prosperous world.”
