    Tech4Good Lab

    We are working in the area of public interest technology to conduct open source investigations into alleged human rights abuses with non-STEM majors. Along with our partner lab at the Human Rights Center at UC Berkeley, students who have joined our labs are majority women, predominantly identifying as bilingual/multilingual, immigrant, first- generation, and/or women of color. As we teach, train, and mentor these student researchers, we are preparing women to enter career paths in journalism, law, academia, and human rights advocacy with digital verification skills that depend on the use of new technologies.
