ERG Alumna Malini Ranganathan Speaks on What it Means to Be an Antiracist

ERG Alumna Malini Ranganathan Speaks on What it Means to Be an Antiracist

In a recent Vox article titled "What it means to be anti-racist", ERG Alumna Malini Ranganathan was quoted on how "the idea of anti-racism has been getting a lot of attention in recent days as Americans around the country rise up against police violence." The article covers the importance of actively fighting against racism, and acknowledging "our own positions in a white supremacist system."

Cohen, Michael

Michael Cohen

MS, PhD

Michael Cohen puts the power and complexity of the grid into students' hands via a video game. We asked Michael about his innovative project and his unique experience at ERG. "In addition to developing the game itself, I am working with teachers at local high schools to develop curriculum around it and try it out with their students this year. I hope to not only create a solid educational product but also gain some insights into how technology can be used to support learning about complex systems in general."
