The Black Research Roundtable (BRR) is a graduate student organization whose aim is to foster an intellectual community of scholars both within and outside the academy who employ a Black Studies epistemology and methodology across disciplines. We aspire to cultivate an intellectually, professionally, and socially engaged community invested in the interdisciplinary study of the African Diaspora.
BRR has the following programming goals:
- The BRR seeks to invite scholars and intellectuals that are at the forefront of advancing interdisciplinary research on the African Diaspora and to encourage rigorous engagement on key issues in Black Studies and related fields.
- BRR also endeavors to facilitate intellectual relationships between undergraduate and graduate students, professors, academic staff, and the broader Ann Arbor community.
- BRR further aims to advance the University of Michigan’s principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion by facilitating the professionalization of graduate student participants and by creating a proactive, student-centered space where all participants can have active conversations about how they can address questions of DEI in their work.
