Research

Curanopy’s research spans the areas of how people of color in leadership navigate and address the complexities of race, gender, and social equity. The reports reveal systemic barriers hindering equitable governance and proper representation while highlighting the necessity of inclusive power structures that actively engage and amplify the voices of people of color.

Curanopy’s unwavering commitment to representing marginalized communities in race, gender, and leadership while elevating their narratives is a testament to our mission of inclusivity and equity. We will continue to celebrate people of color’s intricate contributions and call for increased support and recognition of their work within broader social justice frameworks, advocating for a more equitable society.

Currently, Curanopy works alongside Duke University’s Clergy and Research Collaborative in our continuing efforts to foster more representation in research practices as well as promoting deeper community engagement alongside research.
