North America: United States, Canada, Mexico
Africa: South Africa, Morocco, Nigeria
Asia: India, Pakistan, Philippines, Iraq
Latin America: Brazil

Integrate the DDI research practicum into their coursework (Spring 2026)
Supervise student researchers working with the Sensika AI-powered platform
Contribute to a global network measuring democratic discourse across 20 countries
What We Provide
Full access to the Sensika Research Platform for you and your students
