Overview
Brown University was recently offered the opportunity to exhibit Rosa Parks’ house, which has been under preservation by American artist Ryan Mendoza in Berlin, Germany and is set to return to the US in February 2018. This project grant will support ’The Rosa Parks Project: Race, Memory, and America Today’, an initiative organized by Brown’s Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice (CSSJ), in collaboration with Ryan Mendoza and WaterFire, a public arts organization known for making art accessible to broad audiences. It is an exhibition, regarded by the grantee, of immense importance, symbolizing the Civil Rights Movement. The exhibition will be free and open to the public.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of the Information Futures Lab
Founded in 2022, the Information Futures Lab is a university hub dedicated to improving local information ecosystems and support people in effectively accessing, creating, and making sense of information that is crucial to their well-being. Students and researchers at the lab build the expertise and capacity of organizations and community leaders that are sources of trustworthy information for the public. Together, they map information needs, identify relevant information challenges, and fuel community-led solution design and testing to build healthy and resilient information ecosystems on the ground.
for a joint program on the New Generators of Inequality: Asset Managers and Private Equity
The Rhodes Center and the Stone Inequality Initiative, both housed at Brown University’s Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, will partner with the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies in Cologne to build a postdoctoral research program focused on the topic of asset management and private equity as a new structure of inequality. The Max Planck Institute is the home of the study of asset manager capitalism. At Brown, the Stone Inequality Initiative considers the inequality driving effects of private equity. The Rhodes Center, also active in research on distributional politics, particularly in regard to climate change, will serve as a bridge for these two research programs.
