ISGRJ and the Digital Humanities
In 2023-2024, we launched a trifecta of digital platforms as scaffolding for an interactive, virtual materialization of Rutgers’ intellectual corridor of groundbreaking researchers and scholars: the R3 (Rutgers Researchers on Race) database, Justice Archives, and Just Takes.
The "Rutgers Researchers On Race" database is an innovative, comprehensive, and interdisciplinary showcase of Rutgers University's scholars deeply engaged in race and ethnicity studies. This directory, reflecting our commitment to inclusive scholarship, comprises experts from diverse fields like Cultural Studies, History, Sociology, Political Science, and Ethnic Studies. Each profile details the researcher's academic background, research interests, publications, and ongoing projects. This resource aims to facilitate collaboration, mentorship, and a broader understanding of race and ethnicity among Rutgers researchers, students, and the wider academic community.
Our new dynamic archive, "Justice Archives," is the first-of-its-kind at Rutgers University and other academic institutions and institutes on race, which provides a snapshot of the over 350 events and projects sponsored by Rutgers faculty over the two and half years of ISGRJ’s launching.
Use this comprehensive archive to access all of our current and past events, programs and initiatives. You can browse by category, year, or location.
"Just Takes," is our Op-Ed/thought piece/writing initiative at the Institute for the Study of Global Racial Justice. We encourage our affiliated-faculty and Rutgers Researchers on Race to submit pieces of writing of 500 words or less pitched to orient their research towards a more public audience and/or as relevant for a current issue in the broad area of global racial justice.

Tell us about a research project you're working on, or nominate a faculty researcher or project you'd like us to feature in our Spotlight Initiative.
The research project can either be housed administratively or affiliated with the ISGRJ, or contribute to the Institute’s overall direction and vision regarding the need for a humanistic, interdisciplinary, systems approach to examining racialization and racism across such areas of inquiry as the literary, visual, and performative arts, K–12 education, public health, criminal justice, social justice, public policy, research and professional mentorship and pedagogy.
