James Weldon Johnson Institute for the Study of Race and Difference

The James Weldon Johnson Institute for the Study of Race and Difference, based at Emory University, is dedicated to fostering research, teaching, and public dialogue focused on race and intersecting dimensions of human difference, such as class, gender, religion, and sexuality. Through a variety of initiatives, including public lectures and special programs, the institute explores how social distinctions shape identities and influence processes of inclusion and exclusion.

In addition to its educational offerings, the institute collaborates with faculty on specialized initiatives such as the Native American and Indigenous Studies Initiative and the Latinx Studies Initiative, providing a platform for scholarly exploration and community engagement. The JWJI also features a Fellowship program designed to support emerging scholars in the arts and humanities, furthering its mission of examining and addressing critical issues of race and difference.
