Digital Portfolios of the Poor: Program Launch & Reception

Join the Leir Institute and social research company Decodis for the public launch of Digital Portfolios of the Poor!

The launch event will feature remarks from the Gates Foundation's Dr. Kanwaljit Singh, Leir Director Prof. Katrina Burgess, Associate Professor of Cyber Security Josephine Wolff, and Leir Senior Fellow and Decodis founder Dr. Daryl Collins. Academic Dean Kelly Sims Gallagher will make introductions.

Digital Portfolios of the Poor is a research project designed to understand the gendered differences in digital lives of the poor, enabling us to act more quickly to close gender gaps and to design and create gender-transformative digital products. DPP leverages high-powered, scalable and low-cost research methods to gather an insightful view into the digital lives of vulnerable people – particularly women – in India, Pakistan, Nigeria and Kenya.

Learn more about the project, its innovative methodology, opportunities for student engagement, and a Q&A session with the DPP team. For any inquiries, please reach out to Jacob.Ewing@tufts.edu or digitalportfolios@decodis.com.
