"A study of how high school students respond to a program designed to increase
the frequency and quality of conversations about race finds that the
anti-racist intervention doesn’t cause stress or feelings of alienation.
The finding rebuts concerns that anti-racist programs are harmful to children
and teens. The study could serve as a blueprint for assessing anti-racist
interventions.
“Young people are aware of racial injustice and related social issues, and
schools are interested in helping students understand racial justice and
develop the tools they need to discuss these issues in a meaningful way,” says
coauthor Kelly Lynn Mulvey, an associate professor of psychology at North
Carolina State University.
“There are multiple programs that aim to help schools accomplish these goals,”
Mulvey says. “In this study, we wanted to determine how effective one such
program was. Did it help students understand racial justice issues? Did it make
them more comfortable talking about these issues? Were there any unintended
effects on the students?”"
