• In Event: Research on crime and justice in educational institutions

Abstract

This research project is designed to identify strategies a large public university can implement to more effectively support faculty members whose work focuses on race or antiracism. The findings are based on interviews and survey responses of thirty-nine faculty members whose scholarship focuses on race or antiracism. Faculty participants represent a range of disciplines. The study identifies and highlights the perceptions, concerns and thematic suggestions raised by faculty race scholars. Twenty-three recommendations for race scholars and university administrators are provided.
