Research Fellow Policy: Model Legislation Center for Antiracist Research

Profile

The mission of the Boston University Center for Antiracist Research is to convene researchers and practitioners from various disciplines to figure out novel and practical ways to understand, explain, and solve seemingly intractable problems of racial inequity and injustice. We foster exhaustive racial research, research-based policy innovation, data-driven educational and advocacy campaigns, and narrative-change initiatives. We are working toward building an antiracist society that ensures equity and justice for all.

Under the supervision of the Director and the Associate Director of Policy and the guidance of the Assistant Directors of Policy, the Fellow will conduct and interpret interdisciplinary research; draft policy products, including white papers, policy memos, model legislation and policies; draft amicus briefs; train, support, and maintain a pool of pro bono expert witnesses; help organize policy convenings of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers; develop and help facilitate continuing legal education seminars; and assist fundraising efforts including grant applications and donor cultivation. The first year of the fellowship will focus, in large part, on a multidimensional, intersectional antibigotry convening and policy project, as well as development of a law and justice initiative.
