Our lab supports a core group of independent civic science correspondents and analysts (our “explorers”) who are documenting the rapidly evolving landscape of civic science solutions. Some conduct investigative reporting, others design tools, map ecosystems, or synthesize new research. Together, their work helps make the solutions being generated more visible, accessible, and actionable for those working at the intersection of science and society.
Located in the center, the explorers are building their own documenting practice across video, audio, digital print, and photography. They can access internal lab funding and also pursue external funding through the lab’s infrastructure to support their ethnographic work.
Surrounding them is a rotating community of resident scholars, practitioners, and decision-makers who serve as a distributed advisory and intelligence network. Through their ongoing work, these residents help surface emerging ideas, initiatives, and challenges that help inform and shape the reporting and analysis produced by the lab core.
This model is designed to help correspondents and analysts ask sharper, more targeted questions that reveal patterns, surface gaps, and generate new insights.
Residents are current scholars, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers advancing civic science projects worldwide. They inform our civic science-focused solutions journalism through their ongoing work.
Each year, we host interns who work with our solutions journalists to investigate the latest developments in civic science.
If you are interested in learning more about the work we do and how we operate, ways of joining, we invite you to reach out and tell us about the adventure you seek.
