The brand new Institute for Racial Justice is a mission priority for Loyola University. This institute is a transdisciplinary center for research, education, and community engagement around racism and racial disparities that aspires to gain a greater understanding of racism in all of its forms and to find new ways of connection and action to facilitate greater equity and justice.
