Summary

This project builds upon the state of Maryland’s legacy of racial equity and social justice through three strategic and institutional initiatives: 1) develop faculty-student cross departmental anti-Black racism focused research projects; 2) develop and execute anti-Black racism teach-in workshops for faculty, staff, students, and community members, and 3) present research findings to the wider campus and local community through an annual symposia and networking event. These three interconnected and innovative projects will amplify the new anti-Black racism (ABR) minor (beginning Fall 2023), hosted by five colleges at UMD: College of Behavioral and Social Sciences, College of Arts and Humanities, College of Education, School of Public Health, and School of Public Policy. The ABRI will produce multi-disciplinary and transformative scholarship that advances conversations on anti-Black racism, equip faculty to teach with an anti-Black racism lens to further diversify the academic curriculum at the University, and create a larger anti-racist ecosystem to ensure the University of Maryland is at the forefront of moving toward an anti-Black racist future.
