Measuring Race and Racism in Studies of Research Use

Hosted by the William T. Grant Foundation and the Forum for Youth Investment, this event, Measuring Race and Racism in Studies of Research Use, is the fourth webinar in a series focused on bringing critical race perspectives to research that examines how to improve the use of research evidence in policy and practice. Past webinars have addressed the ways race matters for how research is used, what research is used, and whose research is used. This session focuses on concrete strategies for incorporating attention to race in a study’s research design.

Panelists will share examples, strategies, and challenges related to the conceptualization and operationalization of race in research design. This webinar is targeted toward researchers who want to develop richer and more nuanced approaches to examining race in their own research.

We invite you to join us on November 15, 2pm – 4pm ET to think together about how to meaningfully measure race and racism in studies that examine strategies to improve the use of research evidence in ways that benefit youth.
