Current and Future Research Projects
RJHE is currently conducting a narrative inquiry that explores the reflections of people of color committed to justice work on racial white allies in higher education.
RJHE is considering engaging in a comparative ethnographical study that explores chapel programs at Christian higher education institutions through the frameworks of whiteness, theology, and critical race theory.
