The Coalition for Independent Technology Research
@thecoalition.bsky.social
Our mission is to advance, defend, and sustain the right to ethically study the impact of technology on society.
➡️ Academic researchers want to share resources with civil society organizations.
➡️ Senior scholars want to mentor emerging researchers.
➡️ Researchers in well-funded institutions want to support colleagues in resource-constrained environments. (2/3)
