The Initiative for Institutional Anti-racism and Accountability (IARA) is a new initiative in the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School directed by Khalil Gibran Muhammad, a professor of History, Race, and Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School and the Suzanne Young Murray Professor at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies. The goal of this enterprise is to use research and policy to promote anti-racism as a core value and institutional norm. To this end, IARA proposes to further explore and examine how understanding and engaging with institutional history impacts organizations when forging a path forward for equity. While the field of racial equity and anti-racism is not new, it remains underdeveloped within the context of applied knowledge and pedagogy for organizational behavior and institutional change.

In conjunction with the convening, and in partnership with the Wiener Center for Social Policy, IARA will be bringing the Undesign the Redline exhibit to the Kennedy School. The exhibit will be installed at the Wiener Center, and open to the public. We encourage Truth & Transformation participants to take some time to visit the exhibit while you are at the Kennedy School. Learn more by visiting the Exhibit page on this site.
