- Duke Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity
The Duke Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity is a scholarly collaborative engaged in the study of the causes and consequences of inequality and in the assessment and redesign of remedies for inequality and its adverse effects. Concerned with the economic, political, social and cultural dimensions of uneven and inequitable access to resources, opportunity and capabilities, Cook Center researchers take a cross-national comparative approach to the study of human difference and disparity. Ranging from the global to the local, Cook Center scholars not only address the overarching social problem of general inequality, but they also explore social problems associated with gender, race, ethnicity and religious affiliation.

- Rutherfurd Living History
From 1992-1994, Professors Robert Korstad and Neil Boothby interviewed more than 30 of the leading figures of the post civil rights era. The interviews reside in the Southern Rural Poverty Collection of the DeWitt Wallace Center for Media & Democracy, in the Duke University Sanford School of Public Health Policy. Korstad and Boothby focused on issues of poverty and inequality in the rural South. The unedited interviews document the first-hand experiences of these individuals and their communities living with pervasive poverty in the South, and their individual efforts to help their communities.
