Becoming an Antiracist Society: Setting A Developmental Research Agenda
The continued systemic racism occurring today underscores the need for an urgent call to action within our developmental science community. There is limited research on the origins of and contributors to the development and continuation of individualized and systemic racism in White communities. We also lack evidence on ways to systematically disrupt racism. Developmental science can play a key role in fostering an antiracist society. This webinar will discuss some reasons for limited research in this area and outline the next steps in a developmental research agenda. Experts will also discuss how to prepare, conduct, and support research in this area. Learn more about the event.
This webinar will address questions such as:
- What is racism and how does it manifest in the broader society?
- How can the research on discrimination experiences among children of color inform the kinds of questions developmental scientists ask about the development of racism?
- How and under what conditions are White researchers positioned to conduct this research?
- In what ways can White researchers conduct rigorous empirical research to understand how racism is socialized and transmitted within White families?
- What kinds of supports are necessary to implement this research agenda?
- In what ways can White research allies promote and amplify underrepresented ethnic-racial minority scholars who study racial constructs among populations of color?
