About RIM
The Race in the Marketplace (RIM) Research Network is a transdisciplinary and international research network which seeks to collaboratively advance our understanding of the role of race (and its intersecting socio-political constructs – e.g. class, gender, ethnicity, religion, and sexuality) in the marketplace.

Race in the Marketplace Crossing Critical Boundaries
This volume offers a critical, cross-disciplinary, and international overview of emerging scholarship addressing the dynamic relationship between race and markets. Chapters are engaging and accessible, with timely and thought-provoking insights that different audiences can engage with and learn from.
Each chapter provides a unique journey into a specific marketplace setting and its sociopolitical particularities including, among others, corner stores in the United States, whitening cream in Nigeria and India, video blogs in Great Britain, and hospitals in France.
By providing a cohesive collection of cutting-edge work, Race in the Marketplace contributes to the creation of a robust stream of research that directly informs critical scholarship, business practices, activism, and public policy in promoting racial equity.
2019 RIM Research Forum
The broad objective of this second Forum was to continue the dialogue across domains, disciplines and geographical boundaries to contribute to an integrated understanding of race in markets.
2019 Photo-Dialogue Workshop
Combining critical race theory and photography-based methodology, this project assembled a cross-national and cross-disciplinary team of scholars interested in race-based marketplace issues and local community stakeholders (community activists, artists, practitioners) to discuss, compare and contrast their views on “race and markets” in Paris.
