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

该奖项支持一个题为“种族如何重要：.”的多年期多学科项目的探索和试点工作。(HRM)该项目旨在促进全国对种族主义的经济遗产和政策影响进行重大的重新思考。 它从这样一种信念中汲取生命，即对种族主义的经济历史进行实质性的重新评估是解决国家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调节国家经济的运作，首先是美国。 因为它将批判性地参与非洲裔美国人，拉丁美洲人和亚裔美国人经济学家的经常被忽视的学术研究，人力资源管理计划将加深学者，政策制定者和活动家应对种族，政策和政治经济问题的知识基础。 研究团队还将从社会科学中的多种知识传统中批判性地汲取经验。 调查员打算将研究和分析结果提供给决策者、社会正义倡导者、教师和学者。 该项目将促进必要的政治共识，以制定社会政策，在21世纪的跨国经济中维持人道社区。 这个POWRE奖是一个探索性的努力，旨在使项目更接近全面成果。 在POWRE资助的一年中，调查员将开始为“种族和公共政策”小组委员会编制参考书目的初稿。 她还将最终确定委员会成员和学者顾问团队。 如果有额外的资金，她将开始为这个小组委员会组织第一次“小型务虚会”。

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.
