Higher Education - Stanford, California, United States
The Stanford Center for Racial Justice was created in June 2020 in the wake of our country's deep reflection about racial divisions and the urgent need for solutions. Led by Ralph Richard Banks, SCRJ Faculty Director and Jackson Eli Reynolds Professor of Law, and George Brown, SCRJ Executive Director, we are based in the Law School and serve the entire University. The aspiration of SCRJ is a multicultural democracy where our ability to create opportunities, promote wellbeing for all, and advance freedom is not undermined by racism. We seek to democratize knowledge, catalyze research, improve the nature of public dialogue, and pursue practical solutions at scale to societal problems rooted in historical or present-day racism.
