摘要
This essay describes a learning experience that utilized participatory action research to improve the racial climate of a sociology department at a predominantly White institution. Through systematic inquiry, we developed initiatives and proposed recommendations to create more welcoming, supportive, and affirming environments for students of color and students from other historically oppressed communities. We see our work as a model that develops applied research skills, elevates the expertise of students, and lays the groundwork for meaningful institutional action.
