Fordham Graduate School of Social Service Professor Lauri Goldkind, Ph.D., and Fordham Law Associate Professor Aniket Kesari, Ph.D., oversaw multiple virtual workshops this year with over 100 leaders and staff of Bronx-based nonprofit organizations, helping them better understand artificial intelligence and digital tech adoption.
A New Research Institute for the Bronx
Goldkind and Kesari’s project is one of nine that have been funded by the Bronx Research Institute for Community Solutions (BRICS), which was launched in the fall of 2024.
Part of Fordham’s Center for Community Engaged Learning (CCEL), BRICS operates under the center’s belief that communities thrive when the focus is foremost on their strengths and potential.
In this case, that means asking community groups what issues they’d like to study, and then partnering them with a Fordham faculty member to make it happen.
