Anti-Black racism has been a focus of some faculty members, which has benefited all members of the university community. This group of faculty have internationalized research on race and other intersectional research on inequities. Faculty have led the university through engagement in training and transformative experiences to incorporate anti-racism within the pedagogy of the classroom.

We are highlighting a few efforts that showcase faculty intentional actions to focus on anti-racism within their curriculum and their research.
