Commitment to Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Accessibility (IDEAS):
At Rooted Futures Lab, we are deeply committed to fostering an inclusive, diverse, and equitable space. We actively encourage applications from individuals of traditionally underrepresented identities. This includes, but is not limited to, people from diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, races, ethnicities, religions, ages, and economic backgrounds.
We believe the most innovative solutions arise when diverse voices and lived experiences converge. The EJIT Fellowship is intentionally designed to provide space for those who have been systematically excluded from both the tech and environmental decision-making sectors. We seek applicants from frontline communities, indigenous knowledge keepers, and interdisciplinary thinkers—especially those with critical lived experience in environmental justice work.
This fellowship is not just about demographic diversity; it’s about reshaping who gets to be involved in shaping our technological futures.
