A 501(c)(3) nonprofit building tools that help people ask better questions and see meaningful patterns in research, media, and personal reflection.
We build tools that support deeper inquiry into patterns of lived experience.
The Embodied Knowledge Institute creates tools for deeper inquiry. Whether you're analyzing research narratives, evaluating media claims, or reflecting on personal experience—we build technologies and frameworks that help you see meaningful patterns without reducing complexity to oversimplified answers.
Our computational research tools use AI to surface patterns in qualitative data that traditional methods miss. Our media literacy frameworks help you recognize logical fallacies and evaluate information critically. Our reflective technologies provide private spaces for personal inquiry and growth. Each program supports genuine understanding over quick conclusions.
We provide instruments for inquiry and understanding, not prescribed answers or outcomes.
We help surface meaningful patterns in data, narratives, and experience that resist easy categorization.
We prioritize genuine understanding over quick answers, supporting slower and more thoughtful inquiry.
