Mission
The mission of RIPI is twofold. First, the initiative seeks to support faculty who conduct research and teach about policies that promote or diminish racial, ethnic and gender inequalities and inequities particularly on topics surrounding immigration, education, housing, environmental policy and crime. Second, the initiative seeks to engage students in research and community projects on projects that address racial, ethnic and gender inequalities that are transformative and useful for the community at large.
RIPI’s mission is accomplished through a speaker series, a virtual library, faculty research seminars, race and policy conferences,
and a student-led mentoring program.
