Research Priorities
To become the foremost research center of its kind, the Institute must seize upon central issues that surround race and ethnicity in America and the world, in order to push the boundaries that limit us today and advance the scholarship that will guide us in the future. The following list of themes encapsulates the Institute's research priorities for the next five years (2003-2007):
- The racial achievement gap in schooling in the USA;
- Racial inequality and racial conflict, addressing both specific experiences in the USA and comparative, cross-national experiences;
- The concept and consequences of the idea of race;
- Reparations;
- The Atlantic slave trade and slavery in the Americas;
- Theoretical and empirical research on the mechanisms and effects of racial discriminations;
- State-building in post-colonial Nations;
Training Priorities
Since the Institute will serve as a training ground for scholars at the early stages of their careers, funds are required to provide competitive fellowship opportunities to individuals from across the USA and abroad who will conduct research within the seven themes and other topics pertinent to the condition of Blacks in the diaspora.
