The Just Tech Fellowship selection process has been designed with fairness and accountability as primary objectives. With this fellowship, the Just Tech program is working to bring new voices and perspectives into conversation, maximizing impact and avenues of collaboration across fields and practices.

To ensure rigorous review from multiple perspectives, applications for the 2022 Just Tech Fellowship were evaluated across multiple rounds of review by two cross-sector panels of experts. Just Tech is grateful to our Evaluators and Selection Committee for their efforts and expertise.
