Collaborative Pioneering Anti-Racist Quantitative Research and Training
The Numbers 4 Justice Lab is a collaborative of scholars and scholars-in-training dedicated to advancing anti-racist quantitative research. We draw inspiration from visionary scholars Ida B. Wells-Barnett and W.E.B. Du Bois, who championed the transformative potential of quantitative research, and continue their legacy by utilizing data as a central tool to better understand the depth and complexity of people's lives, reveal the drivers of inequality, and inform social policy.
