The New School

This grant will support the infrastructure and capacity of the Institute for the Study of Race, Stratification, and Political Economy at The New School — a premier research hub promoting economic inclusion, civic engagement, and social equity — particularly related to race and other social identity stratifications. The Institute provides the intellectual and physical space to craft and advance innovative policies, strategies, and investments that break down restrictive hierarchies, empower people, and move society toward greater equity. Rooted in "values," but challenging "ideology," the work will lead to a better understanding of the roles of power, capital, and identity in shaping our political economy.
