Contribute to projects on AI, environmental justice and more
FRI seeks students, community members, and partners to join our 2026-27 Research Teams. We will have teams working on the following research questions:
- How, as feminists, can we be in relationship with AI? Can there be a feminist AI? This team will contribute to literature review and envisioning community-centered AI projects. They will also help with planning public workshops and events on AI.
- How can we support community-driven environmental justice projects? This team will interface with the 2026-27 EJ Leaders cohort, help coordinate their visits to campus, and contribute to background research as needed by the EJ Leaders.
- How do we collectively maintain our outdoor landscaping while valuing sustainability, Indigenous knowledge, and accessibility? This team will help FRI to cultivate and maintain a healing outdoor space that is responsive to our changing environment and the needs of our human and non-human visitors.
