Research Projects

Ten research teams were funded as part of the CSB/SJU Mellon Inclusion Research initiative! Through their work, these researchers are pursuing important lines of inquiry to provide valuable data to help answer our central question: How do the institutions promote or inhibit creating an inclusive community?” Here are the project titles and associated collaborators on these exciting projects:
