Focused\u00a0around student-centered research and community-based learning, this project contributes to broader\u00a0conversations surrounding the role of the university in the local, regional, and national community. The\u00a0project entails three programmatic threads: 1) a publicly accessible <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/memory.richmond.edu\/\">digital archive<\/a><\/strong> developed in collaboration\u00a0between students, faculty, and staff; 2) interdisciplinary courses designed to build content for the archive; 3)\u00a0lectures, brown bags, and symposia thematically related to the project. Weaving these interconnected\u00a0curricular and extra-curricular threads of university of life together by engaging parallel (yet interconnected)\u00a0discussions of past and present, the <em>Race and Racism at UR Projec<\/em>t will help establish the university as a place\u00a0where productive analyses of the past are engaged with an eye toward building and fostering a community\u00a0committed to racial equity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We are eager to engage with members of the community as this project grows and develops.
