Eight research teams at the University of Michigan received funding for their projects aimed at exploring “persistent racial disparities embedded in systems ranging from health, education and wealth to criminal justice and infrastructure.”
The funded projects ranged from “Epistemic Reconstruction: Teaching Engineering Through the Lens of Urban Blackness” to “Does Critical Reflection about Institutionalized Racism and Climate Change Promote Critical Action among Indigenous Peoples in the U.S.?” according to the news release.
The engineering project researcher, James Holly, shared his goals further with The College Fix.
