C2i is proud to call on the expertise of a number of research affiliates – faculty, journalists, practitioners and researchers at Davidson and other institutions – who analyze and make sense of the data for public use. Research affiliates publish blog posts and research briefs on the C2i website and use C2i data in their research and professional work. C2i is adding more affiliates every day, and will update this site accordingly.
