Faculty scholarship helps to drive innovative application of research on race, gender, sexuality, and social justice. Each month we will highlight a faculty project on this page, on social media, and on our news feed. An archive of faculty projects is available as well. You may also review our curated and annotated bibliography of the most relevant resources in these areas.

If you need advice about Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice initiatives at your organization or in your class, then we are happy to connect you to the resources you need.
