Race and Racial Equity in Early Childhood Development

Join us for a special March research forum focused on racial equity and early childhood development hosted by the Crane Center for Early Childhood Research and Policy and the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity.

Dr. Clemens Noelke, research director for the diversitydatakids.org project at the Institute for Child, Youth and Family Policy at Brandeis University, will discuss neighborhood opportunity mapping, specifically the Child Opportunity Index, and how mapping tools can help visualize racial inequities in children’s healthy development.

Dr. Marisha Humphries, associate professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Illinois Chicago, will discuss her work that aims to use an understanding of African American children’s normative and prosocial development to create culturally and developmentally appropriate school-based behavior promotion programs.
