WHAT WE DO

Research and Analysis

BRSL’s research and analysis represent the core function of the Lab. Our research underpins the rest of our activities, informing the way we approach student services and policy engagement.

Student Services

BRSL supports classes, student research groups, and capstone projects. The Lab also works with several undergraduate research assistants, as well as graduate fellows, joining us from different departments across UC Berkeley.

Policy engagement

BRSL is continuously translating our research and analysis via engagement with stakeholders from across public and private sectors, as well as civil society.
