The Equity Center
The UVA Democracy Initiative Center for the Redress of Inequity Through Community-Engaged Scholarship (aka The Equity Center) was founded in 2019 to imagine how the University of Virginia could serve as not just an anchor institution, but also an authentic community resource and partner in the local redress of inequity. Specifically, the Equity Center seeks to change the way University scholars interact with members of the surrounding community, replacing an imbalanced, and sometimes even exploitive model with one built upon mutual respect, mutual benefit, and shared power in all knowledge making efforts. 201 West Main Street, Charlottesville
