Gateway for Academics

Welcome

The Measurement & Human Rights Program welcomes academics from all disciplines, including statistics, mathematics, political science, economics, and law.

Collaboration opportunities

Academic work

Knowledge Brokering, the Measurement & Human Rights Program's primary project, continues to develop.

The international "Children without a State" conference, co-hosted by the MHR Program, brought academics and other actors to Harvard to discuss birth registration and irregular migration.

More events will follow in the fall semester.
