Most societies evince vast disparities in wealth, power, and privilege among groups distinguishable by skin color, phenotype, and heritage. The faculty and that comprise the Division on Racial and Ethnic Injustice seek to understand the full dimensions of racial and ethnic disparities in the United States and abroad in an attempt to find solutions that bring people together. We also examine the challenges and opportunities presented by living in an increasingly globalized multiracial and multiethnic world, and we believe that a better understanding of racial difference can sometimes be obtained by focusing fully on understanding a single racial or ethnic group. Members of our division focus on several dimensions of race and ethnicity including domestic violence among Asian couples, racial and ethnic disparities in education, cross-linguistic communication among the deaf, racially sensitive research designs, and ethnic identity and political resistance in Latin America.
