Tomás Jiménez named as co-director to lead new institute dedicated to finding real-world solutions to address racial injustice.

"I am excited to be a part of the institute because it is an opportunity to have a positive influence on issues about which I care deeply. I also see leading the institute as fulfilling the responsibility we have as an institution to direct our energy and resources toward making the world more just. I speak for both Brian and me when I say that we are eager to work with our colleagues, as well as existing centers and institutes across campus, who have dedicated their scholarship and teaching to racial justice, helping Stanford become an institute of excellence in this field."
