Founded in 2011 by Executive Director Dr. Kathleen King Thorius, the Great Lakes Equity Center in the Indiana University School of Education-IUPUI is an organizational hub for an array of research, technical assistance, and educational resource development projects, including the Region III Midwest and Plains (MAP) Equity Assistance Center and the Girls STEM Institute. Collectively, we are committed to school and system transformation toward racial, disability, and other forms of educational justice.
We provide research-based, practice-informed, contextualized equity-focused technical assistance and resources to advance organizations' capacity to create and sustain equitable learning and working communities. Contact us today about how we can support your equity efforts!
