Print The Institute for the Study of Global Racial Justice at Rutgers (ISGRJ) named four of the university’s most distinguished academic scholars in civil rights, history, literature, and creative writing as directors of campus branches across the university and launched a postdoctoral program supporting research in anti-racism and social inequality. The directors, who will lead the institute’s work at Rutgers University-New Brunswick, Rutgers University-Newark and Rutgers University-Camden, will use humanistic theories, methods and approaches to study global issues of race and social justice. “Higher education must reveal how racism has been normalized through the historic and current narratives of some of its most under-appreciated citizens,” says Prabhas Moghe, executive vice president of Academic Affairs at Rutgers. “By carefully examining the various forms through which racism continues to invade our culture and all of our institutions, by encouraging conversations and thinking around the lived experiences and policy artifacts of injustice in a variety of dimensions, Rutgers and this new institute together stand poised to establish a unique program of scholarly depth and public impact and will bring unique perspective on how we can strengthen the movement toward resistance and change and ultimately create a less polarized and more just society.”
