In 2019, Dr. Betsy Sinclair turned her work into a Magnify, an action network where like-minded people could connect to solve your civic, political, and environmental projects. Magnify has a recommendation engine to suggest projects to different people, whether sending an email, making a phone call, or volunteering to help make a neighborhood better. People can also propose projects and build organizing teams by connecting people with one another. In this talk, Dr. Sinclair will discuss how she came to start Magnify and how it has shaped her work and her life as a political scientist.
