The Diversity & Inclusion Advisory Board (DIAB) serves as the coordinating body for all affairs regarding diversity and inclusion at Harris Public Policy. The DIAB includes senior administration, faculty, students, alumni, and staff members.
The Common Read includes incoming students each year, as well as faculty and staff, who read the same book and discuss it together. This year, we read Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson, a memoir highlighting the injustice in the criminal justice system for individuals at the margins of society who are voiceless, low-income, and often people of color.
The Common Read is part of our commitment to diversity and inclusion and our belief that future policymakers must be given the opportunity to better understand the lived experiences of people who have been marginalized and to explore related policy questions.
