Antiracism in action: participatory mapping of cultural resources with Boulder’s BIPOC community
How can we provide more just and equitable cultural resources in our community? In this project, Community Engagement, Design and Research (CEDaR) teams up with the Antiracism in the Arts Initiative (AAI) to mentor undergraduate research assistants in a dynamic participatory antiracist cultural mapping exercise. Undergraduate researchers will work with AAI and CEDaR faculty and staff to design, develop, and facilitate the participation of community members in mapping the kinds of cultural and arts resources they seek access and inclusion with as well as their reflections on the ways that such resources are inequitably distributed or even exclusive. This work will develop theoretical and methodological grounding in antiracist design and planning literature. We seek interdisciplinary, critical, and engaged undergraduate researchers for work on this project during the spring, summer, and potentially fall of 2022.
Research assistantship
Research assistants (RA) participate in research design, data collection, analysis, writing, and presenting. As a CEDaR RA, you will gain mentorship in theories and methods of community-engaged design, while tackling social and environmental issues.
