Background:
The Civil Rights Project <http://www.law.harvard.edu/groups/civilrights/>
examines justice and equality under law for racial and ethnic minorities.
"Our democracy, our economy and social life generally, face no
greater challenges than those of racial and ethnic justice. Race is
either quite explicit or a critical subtext in virtually every significant
social and economic debate facing communities around the nation, and
the demographic trends in race and poverty will make this even more
so. We see this in conventionally defined topics such as criminal justice,
immigration, and antidiscrimination, but also in challenges such as
that of building metropolitan approaches to housing, economic development,
and education. These pressing problems demand greater attention from
the community of policy analysts and academic researchers. It is a practical
and moral imperative."
They plan to achieve this by:
- responding to critical issues
on the public agenda
- producing original research
on civil rights and equal opportunity policies
- identifying key research needs
in civil rights and stimulate cutting-edge research within the various disciplines;design
- conducting training for students,
community leaders, journalists, policy officials, lawyers, business leaders,
postdoctoral fellows, and others
- preparing curricular materials
for college and high school students
- improving the channels through
which research findings are translated and communicated to policymakers
and the broader public
- improving the channels through
which the needs of policymakers are communicated to researchers; publish
reports and books on critical civil rights issues.
