Long after COVID-19, American society will continue to be diverse, but it doesn’t have to be divided or unequal. This pandemic will continue to force us to change, adapt, and rebuild. As we do so, we can transform our world with racial equity at its center.

RaceWorks Toolkit:
Doing Race & Undoing Racism
RaceWorks is a toolkit I developed that provides educators and facilitators with multimedia tools to have better informed, more meaningful conversations about race with students and coworkers. The toolkit leverages insights from research that shows how people “do race,” and how we can put this way of understanding race to work to “undo racism.”
Where Do We Go From Here?
Insights from Social Science
Where Do We Go From Here? is a resource that I created with the SPARQ team that offers a curated set of stories, science, and solutions to help people make sense of tensions around race, policing, and culture change and envision a path forward. The resources are organized around a common set of current and enduring questions and concerns.
