The Center for Information, Technology, and Public Life (CITAP) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill conducts research that creates more robust, resilient, and resolute democratic media and technology systems. Through our critical social science approach, we research and write publicly about who has political and media power, how they use it, who it benefits, and with what consequences for democracy. We do so to create fair, free, equal, and just media and technological systems.
In the years ahead, CITAP will align research and teaching to support a rising generation of political communicators, media practitioners, and leaders prepared to build capacity for democratic futures.
Direct gifts to CITAP will expand courses, programming, and transformative experiences for undergraduate students at UNC.
Contributions to the Center make possible:
- Visiting professors and speakers
- Campus events
- Student travel
- Student internship support
- Student communications
- Program administration
