The Research Network on Racial and Ethnic Inequality (The Network) is a consortium of scholars engaged in interdisciplinary inquiry on disparities between racial and ethnic groups in a comparative, cross-national context.
The Network’s researchers examine the causes of and the policies to remedy group-based disparities in wealth, income, employment, education, politics, health (both physical and mental), and transmission of advantage or disadvantage across generations.
Key research areas include the phenomenon of colorism, a form of racism that involves prejudicial responses to an individuals’ skin shade (or other phenotypical attributes) and patterns of internal segregation within schools consequent upon racialized tracking.
