Our Mission
Our mission is to provide the next generation of race/ethnicity scholars with the skills they need to do the crucial work of challenging social inequality. We do that by helping them think critically about the conditions of academic labor, be mindful of how those conditions affect their writing habits, and create communities that help them thrive. Our goal is to enable the next generation of scholars to challenge racial injustice and make the world a better place.
