THE PUBLIC SCIENCE PROJECT, based at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, is dedicated to conducting research for a just world. For nearly 20 years we have been collaborating with communities to design and implement participatory research that investigates, speaks back to, and reimagines structural injustice. Our work was featured at the Obama White House forum on Citizen Science, “Open Science and Innovation: Of the People, By the People, For the People.”

Forward Widely & Follow Us!
