The Collaborative for Racial Justice is a forum for critical reflection, exchange, and research collaboration concerning racial justice. The Collaborative is convened by Dr. Carmela Murdocca and supported by the York Research Chair in Reparative and Racial Justice. The Collaborative explores links between global and local histories of racial injustice and the ethical challenges of responding to and addressing the complex realities of racial injustices. The Collaborative brings together a core group of graduate students, faculty, and community advocacy groups interested in interdisciplinary analysis, systemic inquiry, and community engagement to lead change for research on racial justice, and to imagine alternative futures in which the world is remade.
