The Insight Spark

The Insight Spark (TIS) is an intercollegiate academic research review that seeks to educate and inform the general public on complex topics by breaking down prominent and important academic research. We are dedicated to providing accurate and concise information for your everyday ease. We aim to bridge the information gap to promote educational and informational equity. The Insight Spark was founded to help mitigate informational privilege, which is "the idea that access to information is based on an individual's status, affiliation, or power." Oftentimes, only those who skilled, educated, and credible are able to access high-quality and complex research. Through our writing and journalism, we hope to allow ALL people to have a better understanding of the research field. We are committed to raising awareness, creating community impact, and highlighting social issues by employing research-based tools, academic theories, and findings to help us better understand how to approach and solve the pervasive issues in our society. The Insight Spark consists of writers and contributors from colleges across the nation, such as Princeton University, Harvard College, Columbia University, Stanford University, and more!
