History & Purpose

EIF was founded with the aim of developing the skills, approaches and theories of action that are needed in the exercise of leadership for social change. The Fellows will work together and with faculty to expand their own capacity for fostering structural transformation;  facilitate dialogue across differences at Harvard and beyond; and create new knowledge for the field of diversity, equity and inclusion. Many alumni of the Fellowship have gone on to lead high-impact work in universities, schools, districts, non-profits, consultancies, or through their own ventures.
