Report offers suggestions for supporting teens experiencing racism

The National Scientific Council on Adolescence released a report on how anti-Black racism affects adolescents and gives suggestions on ways to support them. Three University of Oregon professors were a part of the council. Jennifer Pfeifer is a professor of psychology at UO and is the co-director. We speak with Pfeifer and co-director Joanna Lee Williams, a professor at Rutgers University, about their work.
