Anti-Racist Research Toolkit
Dr Katy Sian at The University of York has produced this helpful guide on conducting and implementing anti-racist research practices, as part of the University’s enhancing research culture funding.
Anti-racist research requires a real commitment from the academic community to both challenge and dismantle institutional racism and other forms of systemic harm, at a local and global level. By aligning our research goals with anti-racist values, we have a real opportunity to make a significant intervention by serving the public interest and contributing towards positive and meaningful change. Adopting an anti-racist approach widens the scope of how we think about, create and disseminate research, and offers a new framework with social justice at its heart.
This Toolkit connects scholars and practitioners across disciplines, and provides the building blocks for developing new understandings of research processes and practices through an anti‑racist framework.
