Rapid Learning for Justice is a collaboration between academic researchers at the University of Michigan and community partners at two long-term partnerships in the Midwest and West Coast. We collaboratively study how people learn science during the COVID-19 pandemic, and its intersections with justice, in real time in everyday living, and how they activate this scientific knowledge, alongside other powerful forms of knowledge and practice, towards decision-making and action-taking. We center how youths’ and adults’ critical consciousness around racial, educational, and economic justice shapes their learning and action taking about COVID-19.
