Welcome!
The Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy at the University of Illinois at Chicago is a campus wide research center that focuses on promoting and coordinating engaged rsearch on racial justice and related issues of poverty. IRRPP represents a major commitment on the part of UIC to use its intellectual resources to promote interdisciplinary collaborations between faculty and community groups working in ethnically diverse and racially marginalized communities. One of our central aims is to increase the quantity, quality and relevance of research on persistent racial inequalities, and to advance policy solutions linked to social justice outcomes. This work is outcome-oriented and based on action, community mobilization, organizing campaigns, policy reform work and community development activities. The goal of this type of engaged research is to foster relationships leading to sutainable projects with equitable social policy and racial justice aims at their core.
