Scenario

When academic teams disagree about centering racial analysis in research

My department hired me partly for my expertise on racial equity but when I try to integrate that lens into our research methodology, my colleagues keep treating it like optional add-on rather than something that might change how we approach the whole project. I'm realizing we have fundamentally different ideas about what rigorous scholarship looks like.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
