The Initiative for Race Research and Justice

0 followers

Founded in 2018, The Initiative for Race Research and Justice (RRJ) is a growing initiative at Vanderbilt University. The goal of RRJ is to centralize and bring together research and researchers focused on race inside and outside the field of education. RRJ has an overt emphasis on studying and impacting practices and policies toward racial justice. RRJ’s work is organized around three main focal areas: (1) conducting high-quality research on race; (2) using new and expanded knowledge to improve practices, policies, society, and the overall human condition; and (3) sharing and disseminating knowledge, resources, and tools in collaboration with communities, organizations, and institutions for racial justice.
