Understanding Racism's Impact on Child Development: Working Towards Fairness of Place in the U.S.

Join the Center on the Developing Child and a panel of experts for a discussion on the impact of racism on child development and lifelong health. Stephanie Curenton, PhD, Nathaniel Harnett, PhD, Mavis Sanders, PhD, and Natalie Slopen, ScD, discussed their latest research, exploring how racism gets “under the skin” to impact children’s development and how it contributes to unequal access to opportunity in the places where children live, grow, play, and learn. Together, they explore ways to dismantle systemic barriers and work toward solutions that promote healthy child development.
