  Where we think about people, culture, and policy
  The Culture and Policy Institute (CPI) is dedicated to demonstrating how culture and cultural forms and practices inform decision making and characterize communities. This work develops and improves information that policy is based on. The CPI does this through its highly regarded research, by providing a venue for debate and innovative thinking, by nurturing collaboration, by building capacity for non-partisan, authentic, clear-headed investigations, and by increasing public awareness of circumstances that affect policy.
