The aim of this project is to carry out an analysis and refinement of the IN+ Principles, which were developed by the IN+ Team in 2024-2025. Entering the 3rd year of the project, the IN+ Network requires assistance in gathering and analysis of how/if IN+ Principles contribute to our understanding of digital equity and meaningful community engagement.
The project will begin with a review of IN+ existing data and a literature review, going on to produce blog posts and reports. Along the way, existing IN+ tools (e.g., IN+ Power at Play cards and the IN+ Privilege Walk) will be put to the test, and new ways to facilitate digital equity research and community practice will be devised collaboratively.
