Our Impact

The dictionary defines the word “Impact” as “having a strong effect on someone or something. To touch, change, alter, modify or shape through direct or indirect action or influence.” Dr. Joyce King’s impact can be traced back to 1965 when she arrived at Stanford University as an undergraduate student. Her education, research, writing, teaching, training and leadership have been grounded in the concept she authored of “dysconscious racism” which refers to the uncritical perceptions, attitudes, beliefs and assumptions held by teachers and others that perpetuate inequity in education and society. This concept drives all of Dr. King’s scholarship, programs, partnerships and activities to deliver impact that is both measurable and most importantly sustainable.
