Projects Overview

The Center develops and supports projects examining efforts to address structural inequality and advance full participation within and across institutional domains.  Center projects are encouraged, where possible, to:

  1. develop ongoing collaborations among researchers from relevant disciplines and practitioners willing to participate in medium and long range inquiry and reflection;
  2. use an inquiry approach to tailor their methodologies to the problems they seek to understand,
  3. locate innovative practices that suggest promising narratives and models for change, and critically examine their strategies, institutional change theories, efficacy, and generalizability.
  4. integrate teaching, learning and research to develop the capacity for sustainable change, and to use knowledge to increase the efficacy of practice, and in turn, enhance knowledge through deep understanding of practice;
  5. identify cross-cutting questions about the frameworks, mechanisms and roles affecting the dynamics of inclusion and exclusion, and collaborate with project leaders from other domains to identify synergies and common; and (6) share their learning with researchers, practitioners and others involved in understanding and undertaking institutional change.  

Current Projects

Developing the Architecture of Inclusion in Higher Education
This project aims to provide knowledge, tools, and networks that will enhance the sustainability and effectiveness of programs and initiatives designed to advance inclusion and participation in higher education and, in the process to develop higher education’s role a public problem solver, community citizen, and catalyst for transformative leadership.
New Strategies for Transforming Low Wage Work
The Transforming Low Wage Work Project explores a family of recent strategies (voluntary and private arrangements, including private-public hybrids) through interdisciplinary and collaborative case studies of several innovative mechanisms that reduce racial and economic inequality and produce structural change.
Race and Policing: New Models of Institutional Reform
The Race and Policing Project undertakes to connect knowledge across three domains of activity to capture new concepts, strategies and paradigms for experimentation and normative change within institutions and the police profession.
Remedies for Residential Segregation
This project aims to assess the effectiveness of current policy approaches to addressing residential segregation, and to conduct research designed to suggest new approaches that extend beyond the current regulatory and private enforcement dynamic.
