So great to be back at @uofsandiego to celebrate the $580,000 I secured for their VIP Labs fellowship program – to support their research into how inequality drives violence and conflict. Their work is so important to help us build a peaceful, just, and equal world.
@IPJ_VIPLab Director @msrlocke states that "while the centrality of power inequalities is increasingly known to drive violence, research on the topic is sparse." This fellowship program will aim to fill in gaps with research from eight fellows from around the world.
Today, @RepSaraJacobs with the @uofsandiego announced the securing of $580,000 in federal funding to launch the @IPJ_VIPLab's inaugural fellowship program. This fellowship program is designed to increase research on the relationship between inequalities and violence.
@RepSaraJacobs shares that "understanding the role inequality plays in perpetuating the cycle of violence is key to building a more peaceful, just, and equal society. This funding will help add much-needed data to the conversation on inequality driving violence and conflict."
