The Institute on Race and Justice at Northeastern University, (IRJ), is an interdisciplinary academic center that engages in research and scholarship that examines the influence of race on important questions of social justice. Since 2001, IRJ has been founded upon the premise that academic institutions can, and should, provide rigorous, objective information and resources for making policy changes that advance social justice. IRJ aspires to produce social justice research of the highest quality examining how race influences institutional policies, specifically within criminal justice and education, and how this affects urban communities. The institute’s research is conducted by a team of academics from multiple disciplines, in concert with community partners, law enforcement and government agencies, and students. Your generous donation will help this diverse team continue the vital work of advancing racial justice.
