Reimagining The University: Race and Arts
The Center for the Study of Race, Politics, and Culture (CSRPC) awards artists, cultural workers, scholars, students and community members exploring the theme of Reimagining the University: Race + Arts as it relates to our mission to be a hub of research and an incubator of anti-racist practice. How can we investigate and intervene in the systems of white supremacy and racism we all inhabit using the lens and practices of the arts, creativity, and humanistic inquiry?
Proposals may be event- or project-based; provide seed-funding for longer term research; instigate public dialogue and community engagement on- or off-campus; enhance teaching, research and knowledge creation; among other formats.
Congratulations to our “Reimagining the University: Race and Arts” 2024 awardees!
The twelve projects that CSRPC has funded will advance the Center’s ongoing efforts to reimagine the university as a place where we can investigate and intervene in the systems of white supremacy and racism. Grantees will reimagine the university through the lens and practices of the arts, creativity, and humanistic inquiry. Project themes range from an examination of racism in the health-care system to the racialized injustice of mass incarceration.
“We are incredibly excited to welcome our latest ‘Reimagining the University’ grantees to the Center community,” says CSRPC Executive Director Tracye A. Matthews.
“Together, we will advance CSRPC’s core mission to support scholarship, arts, and public dialogue about the centrality of race and racism in the systems we inhabit.”
