Othering & Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley

Public Policy OfficesCalifornia, United States51-200 Employees

The Othering & Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley is a public policy organization focused on identifying and challenging barriers to a more inclusive, just, and sustainable society to drive transformative change. It convenes researchers, community leaders, policymakers, artists, and communicators to advance work addressing the needs of marginalized communities, spanning research, policy, and practice. The Institute pursues innovative narrative, communications, and cultural strategies intended to reframe public discourse around marginality and inclusion and to respond to issues requiring both immediate and longer-term action.

Its approach is informed by analyzing how structures and systems contribute to othering and exclusion. Based in Berkeley, California, the organization operates as a mid-sized team dedicated to advancing its mission. Central to its work is the belief in universal belonging—that people should have a meaningful voice and opportunities to participate in designing political, social, and cultural institutions, with basic respect and the right to contribute and make demands.
