As our increasingly digital world escalates risks to privacy and personal data, the need for transparency and accountability has never been higher. The Glassroots Initiative aims to solve these challenges head on with a collective, grassroots effort. Khoury College faculty and experts across Northeastern work together to conduct relevant research, develop tools to combat emerging threats, advocate for public policy changes, and furnish real-time information to protect and empower consumers.

The Internet opens your door to the world, and brings the world to your door—for better or worse. To counter the inherent dangers of always-online technology and far-reaching networks, the Glassroots team focuses on helping consumers and content providers, as well as policymakers and regulators, better understand three primary concerns:
Glassroots faculty and students work in research areas at the junction of digital transparency—algorithms and theory, artificial intelligence, security and privacy, and data science—while also integrating the broader effects of law and public policy in the courtrooms and boardrooms across the world.

Glassroots is committed to conducting research and creating tools in the public sphere. By developing long-term studies and independent audits of technologies—then sharing the results and ratings for all to see—we drive awareness and transparency in pursuit of accountability.
Our goal? For consumers to understand what personal information is being collected, and by whom. For technology platforms to be held accountable. For regulators to better enforce existing laws, and policymakers to write even better ones.
