Race and Pedagogy Initiative
Educational Partnership for Racial Justice
The Race & Pedagogy Initiative weaves together scholarship and action in order to reduce racism and improve pedagogical practices at all educational levels.

The Race and Pedagogy Initiative is a collaboration of the University of Puget Sound and the South Sound community, which educates students and teachers at all levels to think critically about race and to act to eliminate racism.
Race and Pedagogy Initiative integrates intellectual assets of the campus into mutual and reciprocal partnership with local experience and expertise. The coalition engages campus and community in a sustained and committed effort to mitigate the effects of discrimination and structural racism, and thereby, improve education for all students. We build alliances and collaborate with individuals, groups, and organizations to research, develop, promote, celebrate, and support programs that aim to reduce inequities in education. We support projects that benefit and attract the participation of local, regional, and national audiences as a means to share understanding, expand horizons, and mobilize the work necessary to correct racial injustice.
