The Institutional Antiracism and Accountability Project, based at Harvard University, works at the intersection of community, academia, and policy to address intellectual and practical questions as they related to antiracism policy, practice, and institutional change. Our research identifies the best interventions for achieving racial equity in organizations of all kinds. IARA identifies the best practices that achieve long-term sustainable change. We are interested in how institutions address historical and current harm to Black, Indigenous and people of color, within the context of their operations and how they impact and promote practices to advance systems, structures and practices of equity. IARA’s goal is to help build national accountability standards for organizations to promote transparency where firms claim racial equity or antiracism as a value, but continuously fall short. Accountability benchmarks will give organizations a clear road map to success and allow stakeholders to hold them to those standards. Without such accountability, IARA believes history will repeat itself and there will be little to no sustainable change.
