Pankhuri is a Social Innovation Intern working with the Lab’s Hope Project, which seeks to foster hope in decision-makers through affective sciences to mobilize collective action. She applies her expertise in Social and Behavioral Psychology, with a focus on Global Mobility, Inclusion, and Diversity, to ensure that our initiatives are evidence-based and interconnected.

Here is a list of 3 questions she seeks to answer within the Beyond Lab:

Questions:

1. How can we use social and cultural dimensions to make ‘hope’ inclusive and accessible, even in the face of intergenerational trauma and inequalities?

2. How do our perceptions of our own and others' social identities influence hope and collective action?

3. How can we align our collective identities and actions to effectively mobilize resources and achieve sustainable cultural outcomes?
