Racial disparities refer to differences in outcomes and experiences between racial or ethnic groups, often resulting in members of certain groups facing disadvantages or discrimination. This research area examines how factors such as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and access to resources contribute to inequalities in areas such as healthcare, education, employment, criminal justice, and housing. Researchers in this field work to identify and understand the root causes of these disparities and advocate for policies and interventions that address these inequities and promote racial equity and justice.
