Howard and the American Institutes for Research (AIR) have joint programs?

In late February, Howard and AIR co-sponsored a distinguished lecture with Dr. Odis Johnson entitled Race, AI, and the School-to-Prison Probabilities. His presentation explored the inequitable racial impact of "hardening schools" with the implementation of AI and other enhancements to the security and punishment infrastructure of educational institutions to prevent gun violence. Dr. Johnson concluded by highlighting alternative policies and practices that have the potential to make schools safer, more affirming for minoritized youth, and supportive of academic excellence.

AIR also has opportunities for graduate students to do internships and receive mentoring.  Read more here.
