Experiences of uncertainty, both the immediate and the long-term, push us to center principles of predictability, adaptability, relationships, and future-building as we design research for equity that long outlives crisis and dismantles the structures and power relations that create and exacerbate it.

Sarah Dryden-Peterson and students Esther Elonga, Martha Franco, Orelia Jonathan, and Kristia Wantchekon discuss how they use these principles in their research amid multiple pandemics of Covid-19 and racism.
