Anti-Racism Collaborative
The Anti-Racism Collaborative (ARC) at the University of Michigan aims to foster research and scholarship around racial equity and racial justice, inform practice, engage various publics, and advance anti-racist principles and organizing.
As a part of the provost's anti-racism initiatives, the ARC seeks to spotlight and amplify the broad and deep expertise on racial inequality and injustice that we already have at U-M among our current faculty, staff, and students — across campus units, disciplines, and fields.
The ARC provides the infrastructure for and coordinates activities to create opportunities for promoting interdisciplinary and intergenerational exchange and collaboration, and fostering a sense of community and shared purpose among those doing this work. Embracing an intersectional anti-racism framework, these activities acknowledge the inherent connection between anti-racism and other systems and structures of oppression.
Anti-Racism Scholarship
Scholarship that explicitly:
- recognizes how racism operates within and is reinforced by systems, institutions, policy, social forces, and throughout history, and
- highlights the connection between anti-racism scholarship and continued efforts to challenge or dismantle systemic racism.
