2024 GRANTEES, REIMAGINING THE UNIVERSITY: RACE AND ARTS
Funded by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to race centers at UChicago and peer institutions.
In June, CSRPC announced the selection of twelve projects for our “Reimagining the University: Race and Arts” initiative.
These projects 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 teh 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.
