Institute for Diversity and Civic Life

The Institute for Diversity and Civic Life has a mission to create more inclusive public spaces through storytelling, research, and education. We create platforms to amplify underrepresented voices, empower Texans to tell their stories on their own terms, and diversify the historical record. Our programs harness the power of stories to transform, expand civic imaginations, cultivate conversations about belonging and recognition, and build bridges across differences.
