Associate Professor John Eason has been selected to be one of eight Equity Scholars at the Urban Institute. This two-year program provides opportunity for the scholars to deepen their own policy-oriented research on race, equity, and structural racism. Working with other researchers at the Urban Institute’s equity-focused policy centers and labs, scholars will develop research that examines the effects of structural racism on people and places, offer evidence-based solution to advance racial equity, and share their insights with decisionmakers best positioned to act.
