With a focus on inequalities and social justice, this year’s 27 fellows will engage with national and international news media to make their voices heard on international criminal justice, the politics of climate change, digital inequality, refugees’ rights and more. Vashistha's research focuses on creating social computing technologies that empower underserved communities worldwide to facilitate socio-economic development.
Global Public Voices works closely with Cornell's Media Relations Office. Fellows attend monthly collaborative discussions with peers, where they receive practical media and outreach training, including support in building an international public profile and sessions on writing effective op-eds, funding proposals and policy briefs.
