About the Center for Anti-Racism and Community Health (ARCH)

ARCH’s mission is to serve as a rigorous and community-driven academic hub focused on the critical interrogation and disruption of mechanisms of structural racism and discrimination that threaten the health and well-being of marginalized people, especially Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) communities. The goals of the center and its scholarship are oriented around the disruption of racism and racialization rooted in white supremacy culture norms that perpetuate anti-Blackness, anti-Indigeneity, and other forms of oppression across identity spaces. We seek to expand the conceptualization, discourse, and venues for rectifying power imbalances in service to the health and humanity of all people.
