What We Do
Informing Policy & Law.
Mobilizing Knowledge.
CRDJ moves beyond knowledge translation to knowledge mobilization, connecting research, practical tools, and communities of practice to inform policy and law and create new possibilities for action.
Research
Resources & Tools
Toolkits
We produce interdisciplinary research that examines how race and disability shape law, policy, institutions, and everyday life. Our research establishes the evidence and ideas that inform the Collective's broader work.
We translate research into accessible, practical resources that help others understand complex issues and put knowledge into action. These materials are designed for use by advocates, practitioners, policymakers, educators, and communities.
Our toolkits bring research, resources, and strategies together around specific issues and areas of action. More than repositories of information, they create pathways for learning, reflection, advocacy, and change.
Collectives
Our Collectives bring people together around the issues explored through our research and toolkits, creating communities of practice where knowledge can be shared, challenged, and applied. These relationships also generate new questions and insights that inform future research.
