Mission

The Racial Empowerment Collaborative (REC) is a research, program development, and training center that brings together community leaders, researchers, authority figures, families, and youth to study and promote racial literacy and health in schools and neighborhoods. 

 

REC Goals

h3= humanity, history, health

  • Develop & evaluate theories and interventions that recast racial rejection/health in the lives of youth and families. 

  • Critique behavioral/educational science and service on inattention to youth/family racial risk/protective factors.  

  • Produce intervention-focused programs, films, and training that promote racial health protective factors & narratives. 

  • Provide Down-to-Earth (DTE) and In-the-Moment (ITM) racial health knowledge, skills for children, parents, teachers, and community leaders. 

  • Requests for speaking engagements for Dr. Stevenson or any of the REC faculty should be directed to gserecast@gse.upenn.edu
