Working Group - Haiti

The Haiti Working Group examines critical issues related to human development and social change in Haiti. Centered in a human rights-based approach, we conduct interdisciplinary research on topics relevant to developing a thriving society such as access to food and water, education, healthcare, and mental health services; economic, social, and cultural rights; protection of vulnerable populations; and environmental sustainability. Our mixed methodologies and theoretical approaches are on the cutting edge of interdisciplinary research and collaboration.
