The Tang Institute at Phillips Academy is excited to announce 19 fellows who will work on six new and ongoing projects during the 2020 – 2021 academic year. 

New projects will explore the relationship between big data and social inequality, based on the Tang Institute’s ongoing partnership with Opportunity Insights, and reflect on the process and milestones related to establishing Andover’s first ever all-gender housing. Ongoing projects include the Workshop, instructional coaching, and further development of ways to embed inquiry-based learning into Andover’s Biology 100 curriculum.

Following is the complete list of new and ongoing explorations for the 2020 – 2021 academic year. Visit Our Work page for additional information about each of these projects, and continue to connect with us through our blog and through events that feature conversations led by current Institute fellows and guests.
