The Kirwan Institute is involved in research that examines how we can best facilitate a transformative agenda around race. This research is relevant to the conversation about affirmative action, and helps us understand both the dialogue that opposes affirmative action and the dialogue that supports affirmative action. It also provides insight into how we can talk about affirmative action in a way that garners public support for these important policies. Some of this research is available at the links below.
