(THE COLLEGE FIX) – The Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan launched a “Center for Racial Justice” this semester that plans to teach students how to engage in activism with an eye toward “Black, Native and Indigenous, Latinx, and Asian American and Pacific Islander peoples.”
The center, on its website, pledges to “uncover the voices of the unjustly silenced” and “offer sound policy prescriptions for a more equitable and just society” through speaking engagements, classes for students, and funding for research and other initiatives.
The center purports to combine research and activism by inviting speakers who focus on topics including economics, sociology, African American studies, and poverty and inequality in a series called “Racial Foundations of Public Policy.”
