Shannon Wanless, director of the 儿童发展办公室 in the 教育学院, co-authored a chapter in an upcoming 书, “The Legacy of Racism for Children.”

The 书 explores “the challenges that racial minority children face due to racism within US law and public policy,” and the interdisciplinary nature of the 书’s context is meant for an audience of scholars and practitioners within psychology, sociology, social work, education, the legal system, criminal justice, public policy and race studies.

Wanless的章节关注的九游会论坛是从学校到监狱这条管道的种族比例失调。 In it, she cites research by Pitt scholars past and present, with connections to the 城市教育中心, 社会工作学院, the Kenneth P. Dietrich艺术与科学学院’ 心理学系, the 教育学院 and the 种族和社会问题中心.

The 书 will be available on July 1, and it is currently available for 预购.
