One of the nation’s leading scholars and historians of racism will join Boston University’s faculty on July 1 and launch the BU Center for Antiracist Research. Kendi, 37, is the author of the 2019 best-selling book How To Be an Antiracist. He won the National Book Award in 2016 for Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America. The new center will foster collaborations across the University; build multidisciplinary problem-centered research teams, and collect, organize, and utilize data on racial inequity.
