Towards a world without oppression.
The Global Racisms Institute for Social Transformation (GRIST) is a new interdisciplinary research institute based at the University of Cambridge
Transformative, anti-racist research
Our institute provides a space that makes space, both to explore how different forms of racism manifest around the world, as well as piloting methodologies to dismantle oppressive dynamics.
Our model of work

Enabling global, relational conversations about racism as a step towards its eradication
Creating and sustaining communities
Creating and sustaining meaningful collaborations that facilitate impactful interventions

FEATURED PROJECT
The Structure Within
The Structure Within is a creative community dedicated to developing a shared language around internalised oppression and racism, which can often act as a barrier to collaboration for social change.
An international coalition for change
We’re collaborating with a broad range of partners both in Cambridge and around the world. We want to ensure that our tools and approaches work across regions and for a variety of actors: community members, social justice organisations, students and academics.
