Submissions for BlackYouthProject.com

The work of The Black Youth Project (BYP) is based on three basic concepts: knowledge, voice, and action.

KNOWLEDGE: We are committed to producing research about the ideas, attitudes, decision making, and lived experiences of black youth, especially as it relates to their political and civic engagement.

VOICE: Unlike any other organization, we amplify the perspectives of young black people daily without censorship or control. We have built a space on the Internet where black youth can speak for themselves about the issues that concern them.

ACTION: Informed with culturally-specific knowledge, we will work to mobilize black youth and their allies to make positive change and build the world within which they want to live.

BYP 100: Comprised of 100 black activists from across the country convened by the Black Youth Project to mobilize communities of color beyond electoral politics.

BlackYouthProject.com is a diverse online resource, divided into four main subsites: BYP BLOG, BYP RESEARCH,BYP 100 and BYP ACTION.

National Diversity Summit, March 6-8, 2015 at Brown University

The Scholarship of Diversity and Inclusion in the Academy: Lessons Learned and the Work Ahead for Universities in the 21st Century

As we approach the end of the Brown 250+ Celebration, please join us on campus for the Brown 250+ Diversity Summit. At this special convening of students, faculty, staff, alumni, thought leaders and innovators, we will explore how higher education engages in the work of developing and sustaining an increasingly diverse and inclusive academic community. Through plenary panel discussions, workshops, interactive seminars, and networking activities, we will engage in critical discussions that consider the broad range of identities, perspectives and experiences (race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, class, etc.) represented in higher education institutions today, and how relevant research and scholarship informs the work of advancing diversity and inclusion in the academy. 

For further information, please contact institutional_diversity@brown.edu or (401) 863-2216
