The Human Rights Data Science Lab at James Madison College is an innovative undergraduate research project that bridges academic learning with critical global human rights work. Lab participants engage in policy-relevant research to investigate human rights violations and other crimes of international concern. Participating students:

• Use emerging technology to conduct policy-relevant research and collect data
• Analyze data to determine human rights violations in target countries
• Present findings to relevant stakeholders
• Enhance professional-development skills: data analysis and data visualization, remote sensing, data-based construction and social media analysis
• Gain real-world experience in national security and international affairs
