POWRE: How Race Matters: Global Perspectives on Ethnicity and Economic Inequality

该奖项支持一个名为“种族问题如何……”(人力资源管理)的多年和多学科项目的探索性和试点工作。该项目旨在促进对种族主义的经济遗产和政策影响进行重大的全国性重新思考。它使人们相信，对种族主义的经济史进行实质性的重新评估是解决该国未完成的种族事务的持续努力的必要组成部分。人力资源管理倡议将记录和澄清种族和族裔如何协调国家经济的运作，从美国开始。因为它将批判性地吸引经常被忽视的非裔美国人、拉丁裔和亚裔美国经济学家的学术研究，人力资源管理倡议将加深学者、政策制定者和活动人士可用来处理种族、政策和政治经济学问题的知识基础。研究小组还将批判性地借鉴社会科学中的多种知识传统。调查人员打算将产生的研究和分析提供给政策制定者、社会正义倡导者、教师和学者。该项目将促进建立社会政策所需的政治共识，这些政策将在二十一世纪的跨国经济中维持人道社区。POWRE奖是一项探索性的努力，旨在使该项目更接近全面成果。在为战俘提供资金的这一年，调查员将开始为“种族和公共政策”小组委员会编写参考书目初稿。她还将敲定委员会成员和学者顾问团队。如果有更多的资金可用，她将开始为这个小组委员会组织第一次“小静修”。

This award supports exploratory and pilot work for a multi-year and multi-disciplinary project entitled `How Race Matters:...` (HRM) The project seeks to facilitate a significant national re-thinking of racism's economic legacies and policy implications. It draws life from the belief that a substantive reassessment of racism's economic history is a necessary component of the ongoing effort to address the nation's unfinished racial business. The HRM initiative will document and clarify how race and ethnicity have mediated the workings of national economies, starting with the United States. Because it will critically engage the often ignored scholarship of African-American, Latino, and Asian-American economists, the HRM initiative will deepen the knowledge base available to scholars, policy makers and activists grappling with matters of race, policy, and political economy. The research team also will draw critically from multiple intellectual traditions within the social sciences. The investigator intends that the research and analysis produced will be made available and accessible to policy makers, social justice advocates, teachers, and academics. The project will foster the political consensus needed to establish social policies that will sustain humane communities in the transnational economy of the twenty-first century. This POWRE award is an exploratory effort designed to bring the project closer to full fruition. During the year of POWRE funding, the investigator will begin the compilation of a first draft of the bibliography for the 'race and public policy' subcommittee. She also will finalize the committee membership and the team of scholar consultants. If additional funds become available, she will begin organizing a first 'mini-retreat' for this subcommittee.
