The fog of classism: Where middle-class white parents of young white children may get lost in their antiracist parenting aspirations
Aspiring antiracist White parents report feeling stuck and uncertain about how to socialize their young White children into antiracism. Most of the scholarship focused on this population, their ideas, and practices overlooks the intersection of their class positionalities with their attitudes and behaviors regarding antiracist parenting. The present study offers insights into the dynamics of class-related beliefs and antiracist socialization amon…
Examining critical anti-racism action as a buffer of the link between discrimination and mental health outcomes
Youth in the U.S. must navigate intersecting systems of oppression as they develop. One potentially adaptive approach to navigating oppressive systems is through engagement in informed action to promote greater justice (“critical action”). This study examined whether a particular kind of action, anti-racism critical action, has protective mental health effects on Black and White U.S. adolescents. The study also examined whether experiences of dis…
Resilience Through Resistance: How Parental Factors Moderate the Psychological Impact of Urban Adolescents’ Anti-Classist Critical Action
Examining feasibility, acceptability, and participant experiences of an anti-racist parenting intervention for White U.S. parents
Many White parents engage in minimal discussion of race and racism with their children, instead engaging in color-evasive practices that communicate that race is unimportant and that White people are racially neutral. Even White parents who express a commitment to anti-racist parenting frequently struggle to act on this commitment and feel underprepared to do so. The current mixed methods pilot study focused on the feasibility, acceptability, and…
Exploring the development of narrative identities in emerging adults who have been in foster care
I want to support her but also want to protect her: The gendered parenting practices of LGBTQ+ parents
Critical Consciousness: Expanding Theory and Measurement
Critical consciousness represents the analysis of inequitable social conditions, the motivation to effect change, and the action taken to redress perceived inequities. Scholarship and practice in the last two decades have highlighted critical consciousness as a key developmental competency for those experiencing marginalization and as a pathway for navigating and resisting oppression. This competency is more urgent than ever given the current soc…
Longitudinal and Reciprocal Relations Among Parent and Child Outcomes for Black Early Head Start Families
Research Findings: Structural racism places Black families at heightened risk for stress, parenting challenges, and child developmental concerns. These impacts on families persist across the lifespan, though Black families also thrive in spite of the oppression they face. Federally funded programs like Early Head Start (EHS) show promise in supporting vulnerable families and children, and particularly for low-income Black families. The current st…
Adolescent Mental Health in Relation to Anti-Racism Critical Action
Critical consciousness in children and adolescents: A systematic review, critical assessment, and recommendations for future research
Young children's stereotype endorsement about people in poverty: Age and economic status effects
An intersectional perspective on the intergenerational transmission of trauma and state‐perpetrated violence
We utilize intersectionality as the framework for analyzing and critiquing the literature on the intergenerational transmission of trauma in early childhood. In particular, we assess the extent to which the literature replicates the oppression of marginalized and minoritized children and families by deemphasizing traumas and traumatic processes that are attributable to interlocking systems of oppression. In addition, building on the emphasis on s…
Is poverty on young minds? Stereotype endorsement, disadvantage awareness, and social-emotional challenges in socioeconomically disadvantaged children
Socioeconomic disadvantage is associated with social-emotional difficulties, including internalizing and externalizing problems, as early as toddlerhood. The aim of the current study was to understand whether economically disadvantaged children's beliefs about the consequences and correlates of poverty (poverty stereotypes) and their beliefs about their personal economic disadvantage contribute to their social-emotional functioning. Interviews we…
Young children's reasoning about the effects of poverty on people experiencing it: A qualitative thematic analysis
Cognitive aspects of young children's experience of economic disadvantage
Economic disadvantage is a well-studied risk factor for poorer behavioral and academic functioning in young children. Although the mechanisms by which disadvantage impacts children have long been of interest to researchers, studies to date have predominantly focused on mechanisms that are external to the child (e.g., parental depression, marital conflict). Very few studies have examined the internal, cognitive aspects of the experience of economi…
