Schools are not just instructional spaces—they are complex social ecosystems. The Human Network research project examines how belonging, communication, and shared purpose shape institutional health and ethical leadership.
This work draws on Dunbar’s number, governance theory, and administrative law principles. It also aligns with my training at the Harvard Case Method Institute, my experience in policy and documentation systems within public institutions, and my work as a member of the iCivics Educator Network.
The project has been proposed for AERA and may be adapted for the Oxford Round Table and a Fulbright Distinguished Awards in Teaching Research Program residency exploring comparative school governance in the United Kingdom.
Ultimately, it seeks practical answers to pressing questions:
- What makes institutions trustworthy?
- How do people communicate across structural bottlenecks?
- How do we preserve cohesion as digital tools accelerate fragmentation?
This research sits at the intersection of civics, ethics, and law—focused on how institutions remain truly human.
