- Write legal explainers and other resources for the Advancing DEI Initiative website to educate users on topics at the intersection of law and DEI.
- Communicate with constituents of the Advancing DEI Initiative on developments in the law of DEI through a variety of means, such as social media, a newsletter, and “rapid response” updates.
- Expand the material encompassed by the legal tracker, such as by tracking state anti-DEI litigation and anti-DEI legislation.
- Work with the Advancing DEI Initiative’s web developer to expand and refine the website over time.
The role is a remote position.
