About The Antiracism Working Groups

In response to the persistent national bane of anti-Black racism, over 40 BSS faculty, students, fellows, and staff have participated in three major working groups focusing on research, teaching and curriculum, and community and advocacy.

The Antiracist Research Working Group is working to identify measures, theories and frameworks , analytic best practices, and community engaged methods that we believe all BSS community members should be familiar with and utilize in their own work. 

The Antiracist Teaching and Curriculum Working group is moving forward work on two pillars of education: teaching practice and curriculum.

Finally, the Antiracist Community and Advocacy Working group focused on engaging our community partners around antiracism and social justice, improving our internal departmental climate, and fostering a departmental culture of public advocacy. Much of this work has now been taken on by the department's Diversity and Inclusion Action (D-DIAP) committee. 

Combined, these groups aim to position us to be more centrally involved as leaders in efforts to dismantle anti-Black racism, structural racism, and other systems of inequity and privilege in our School and University, in the local community, and on the national landscape.
