The Policy & Rights Lab exists to bridge the gap between academic human rights research and real-world policy impact. We believe that rigorous, independent analysis is essential to holding power accountable and advancing the rights of vulnerable populations worldwide.

Currently in its founding stages, the Lab is building a team of emerging scholars, seasoned practitioners, and technologists from institutions around the world. Our fellows will produce policy briefs, long-form research, expert commentary, and open-source tools — all freely available to advocates, legislators, journalists, and the public.

We are nonpartisan, editorially independent, and committed to methodological rigor. Every piece we publish will undergo internal review by fellows with relevant expertise.
