This work is challenging, and requires us to get comfortable with discomfort. At times it can seem impossible and make us want to retreat back to what is familiar.

It also requires us to take on the questions that tackle the underlying structural conditions that lead to inequity or equity, and to ensure our results from individual-level studies are described in that context.

Centering equity requires us to challenge our own assumptions and biases, who we consider to be “researchers”, and our notions of rigor, objectivity, and methodology. See, for example, @equitableeval

It also means centering equity in what we are welcoming people to. Our evidence building needs to tell us not only WHAT works, but also FOR WHOM, and WHY.

As the @JPAL_NA inaugural Partner #EvidenceChampion I challenge us as an evidence-building field to center racial equity in our work. That means a few things to me. Of course it includes diversifying perspectives and who is included in the field.
