The ID2 Lab’s mission is to identify how and when the voices of marginalized peoples are represented in political institutions in low- and middle-income countries, what policies better ensure this representation, and how political inclusion impacts broader patterns of development.

We are a collaborative research community at Stanford University led by Professor of Political Science, Soledad Artiz Prillaman. All of our work begins from the premise that inclusive development must coincide with inclusive politics.
