Grantee Amy Halberstadt is examining the extent to which practices that reduce racial bias among teachers can respond to gaps in academic and disciplinary outcomes between Black and White students.

In this new paper, published in SRCD’s Social Policy Report, Vivian Tseng, John Q. Easton, and Lauren Supplee discuss how research-practice partnerships challenge researchers and practitioners to work together in new ways in order to improve education and human services, and ultimately to enhance child and youth outcomes.

We talked with Marcelo Suárez-Orozco about the subject of his recent Foundation-sponsored grant, “Humanitarianism and Mass Migration,” through which he convened a two-day workshop at UCLA in partnership with the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy of Sciences and the Ross Institute. Here, Suárez-Orozco discusses ideas presented at the workshop, which will be collected in an upcoming volume of papers addressing potential policy levers to interrupt the marginalization of new refugees and immigrants and, ultimately, reduce inequality in youth outcomes.
