The mission of the BU Center for Antiracist Research is to convene varied researchers and practitioners to figure out novel and practical ways to understand, explain, and solve seemingly intractable problems of racial inequity and injustice. We foster exhaustive racial research, research-based policy innovation, data-driven educational and advocacy campaigns, and narrative-change initiatives. We are working toward building an antiracist society that ensures equity and justice for all.
Whereas racist research historically has posed the question “what is wrong with people?” antiracist research now asks a different question, a better question: “what is wrong with policies?” Our belief is that framing research on race and racism around antiracist questions leads to antiracist narratives, effective policy solutions, and impactful advocacy campaigns that cut to the root of racial inequality: racist policy.
Donors to the BU Center for Antiracist Research are the very foundation of our work to educate, empower, and bring about an antiracist society.
Please support us in this essential mission.
