Issues concerning racial equity have been addressed across a number of UCLA Pritzker Center research efforts, including Courageous Converations, Beyond Blind Removal: Color Consciousness and Anti-Racism in Los Angeles County Child Welfare, and Barriers to Reducing Racial Disproportionality of Black Children in Los Angeles County Child Welfare. Additionally, UCLA Pritzker Center faculty, researchers, and students bring significant expertise and experience to this work.
Together, these projects and the expertise of UCLA Pritzker Center faculty, researchers, and students form the foundation of the UCLA Pritzker Center’s Racial Equity Hub for Child Welfare Reform. While we hire staff and prepare to officially launch the hub, scroll to read our past research reports below. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming months.
