Our research explores the perceptions, beliefs and socio-emotional attitudes that influence relationships between students and teachers, and how these contribute to racial inequity and influence student success. Through exploring and identifying these impacts, our work informs interventions in teacher training that will reduce opportunity gaps and increase belonging for students. Read about our findings, which have appeared in peer-reviewed psychology and education journals including The Journal of Early Adolescence, Educational Psychology and more.
