Student Parent Initiative
More than 4 million postsecondary students are parents. While student parents are highly motivated and just as academically capable as their nonparenting peers, they are less likely to graduate from college and take longer to complete. Higher non-tuition costs for expenses like child care and housing, lack of support for basic needs, and systems and policies that weren’t built with student parents in mind can all stand as barriers in their postsecondary education journey.
New America’s student parent team conducts research, policy analysis, and advocacy to improve outcomes for parenting students. Our goal is to advance policy solutions that support student parents in higher education. We work towards this by elevating public awareness of student parents, bringing new organizations and stakeholders into the field, and connecting research, data, and promising practices to advocacy.
The Shangri La Series: AI for Middle Powers
The Shangri La Series convenes practitioners, policymakers, technologists, and scholars from around the globe to chart a practical agenda for AI governance and deployment among middle powers. Through the series, participants are empowered to prepare their countries and communities to tackle the challenges of AI head on.
Much of the global AI conversation has centered on “digital empires:” the United States, China, and the EU. While these actors are undeniably important, a majority of real-world AI use and experimentation is taking place outside of these superpowers. Middle-income countries—from India to Brazil and from Indonesia to Rwanda—are seeking their own pathways, as sites of innovation; experimentation, and cost effective, high-impact deployment. By bridging silos across these regions and different sectors, The Shangri La Series grounds global AI so that people, regardless of where they live, benefit from the technology.
