Who We Serve
Connecting Educators & Students with the San Antonio Community
Our students, faculty, and community members will work in multiple endeavors and pathways; from internships, fellowships, teaching academies, and more to explore greater understanding. Our educators and students will learn to build and develop meaningful relationships with their local community from diverse backgrounds and origins by taking part in our fight for a just future.
DRJ Partnerships
The DRJ offers scholarly research-based resources via community-based endeavors to envision and realize racial justice. Through site-based collaborations and partnerships, Democratizing Racial Justice elevates co-created community knowledge for just societies, transforms access to the academy for all, and propagates transformative pedagogies in Ethnic Studies and the humanities.
