Systemic problems as well as effective programs that promote constructive racial relations within the workplace, education arena and neighborhoods are being explored. Through an extensive literature review, interviews with academics and practitioners, site visits, and a series of multidisciplinary meetings of scholars and practitioners the project will provide up-to-date information on what is known and not known about intergroup relations, and how to promote positive relations within institutions. The meetings will provide a unique opportunity to talk about this issue across disciplines and among scholars and practitioners. The project is funded by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. We would appreciate hearing from our readers about programs within schools (K-12 and higher education), neighborhoods/communities and the workplace whose goals are to improve intergroup relations.
