Why We RISE
The mission of the RISE is to advance intersectional racial justice and equity in PK-12 and postsecondary educational institutions by bringing together researchers, practitioners, community members, and other educational stakeholders.
Using an intersectional lens, the Center understands racism as a system that is intertwined with other structures of oppression (e.g., sexism, classism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.) that functions to (re)produce social injustices.
In alignment with CSU’s land-grant mission, the Center works collaboratively and in partnership with communities of praxis to identify, analyze, disrupt, and redress the effects of structural and systemic racism on individuals and communities in schools and universities, as well as educational practices and policies.
