Research

We uncover the roots and realities of systemic harm through rigorous analysis, community collaboration, and culturally grounded methods. Our work challenges dominant narratives and equips organizers, legislators, and residents with the evidence needed to push for lasting equity.

Our research explores how, in a society textured by systemic inequity, belonging can be nurtured and differences can be bridged. We use data to identify effective strategies for creating systems-level change that is based in the strengths of people of color. Our research provides counterpressure to the deficit approaches to understanding marginalized communities.
