What policies and practices truly spark antiracist change in organizations? The Institutional Antiracism and Accountability (IARA) Project, situated within the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at Harvard Kennedy School, is a team of researchers, students, and experts dedicated to answering this question. Through rigorous evaluations of policies and practices, we share what works to create antiracist change in organizations across sectors.

Your donation supports independent, ground-breaking research that’s critical in disrupting systemic racism.

Announcing our next chapter at Princeton University!

We are proud to share that the IARA Project will move to Princeton University at the beginning of 2025. Read more about the transition in this year-end letter from Professor Khalil Gibran Muhammad.

On behalf of the IARA team, we would like to thank everyone at the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation for their enormous support, guidance, and warmth in our years working together.
