About the OpEd Project

The OpEd Project is a social venture founded to increase the range of voices and quality of ideas we hear in the world. The project envisions a world where the best ideasregardless of where or whom they come fromwill have a chance to be heard and to shape society and the world. Nearly 10,000 women and men have come through The OpEd Project, and have published op-eds, essays, and more in virtually every major media outlet, reaching hundreds of millions of readers. As a direct result, participants have gone on to speak on national TV and radio, advance research and teaching careers, earn book contracts, consult on national policy issues, take new leadership roles at their institutions, brief Congress, and become nationally recognized for their ideas.
