Convocation Research and Design Labs (CoRD Labs) is an interdisciplinary think tank investigating the intersections of cybersecurity, design, and human rights. We focus on how technology is built, the harms it amplifies, and its impact on marginalized communities. Our collaborations include UNICEF, Mozilla Foundation, Coalition Against Online Violence, Interledger Foundation, Plan C Pills, Palestine Legal, National Democratic Institute, International Republican Institute, trust and safety teams at BandCamp, Facebook, and Wikimedia Foundation.

Our mission is to hold emerging technologies accountable by exposing their harmful impact on marginalized communities. Through research, design and security services, policy, advocacy and training, we uncover the trajectories of harm caused by data, artificial intelligence, surveillance, harmful design patterns (dark patterns), digital inequities, censorship and state sponsored misinformation, striving for a more just and equitable digital future.
