Annenberg’s current focus areas reflect key domains where we are engaged in sustained and collaborative research. These areas span our four pillars and represent multi-year commitments to topics that reflect strong faculty interest, deep expertise, and relevance to the field. Our current focus areas—Race and Education, Educators, Postsecondary Education, and Climate and Education—highlight where we are investing to advance knowledge and practice.
We revisit these focus areas regularly to ensure they remain responsive to emerging questions from the field and evolving faculty interests. Within each area, we support specific projects and launch emerging lines of work that illustrate the breadth and impact of this research.
