Being in fellowship is a powerful vehicle for change. By bringing together researchers, practitioners, and community leaders with diverse perspectives, our year-long fellowship program creates space for new collaborations and insights that wouldn’t emerge in isolation. Fellows challenge one another, share knowledge across fields, and deepen their ability to communicate complexity in public life.

Current Fellows
Our 2025-2026 fellows are a dynamic cohort of Boston University faculty and practitioners in and around the Boston area.
