Panel Discussion: Critical Race Perspectives on the Use of Research Evidence

On October 1, the Foundation hosted a virtual panel titled “Critical Race Perspectives on the Use of Research Evidence,” featuring researchers Jamila Michener, Janelle Scott, and Fabienne
Doucet discussing ideas about how to center race in efforts to improve the use of research in policy and practice. As Senior VP of Program Vivian Tseng remarked at the outset of the event, the Foundation's work on the use of research evidence "has often neglected
to account for the ways in which race and racism matter for what research is produced, which research is used, and who benefits from the ways research is deployed. … It is our hope that that a critical race lens can help us envision ways of bringing research
to bear on policies, practices, and movements that disrupt racial hierarchies.”

President’s Comment: Anti-Racist Education is Essential for Research Universities
|
|
By Adam Gamoran
As the President of a Foundation whose research grantees are almost uniformly also funded by the federal government, I am appalled by the recent OMB directive and presidential executive
order prohibiting anti-racist training for federal agencies, contractors, and grantees. In a new post for the NYU Metropolitan Center for Research on Equity and the Transformation of Schools, I've issued a statement on these actions: “For a nation founded
on principles of equality which have never been fully realized, nothing could be more patriotic” than cultivating in researchers a deep understanding of injustice and encouraging them “to carry out studies that develop and test strategies to dismantle systems
of racial and economic inequality.”
