Presently, my scholarship is largely focused on the role of race and ethnicity on children's development. It is my position that much of our prevalent theoretical and empirical work falls short in delineating the mechanisms by which contextual forces influence families and children of color. Specifically, I have been working on the role of culture, acculturation, and different sources of oppression (i.e., poverty, racism, and discrimination) in shaping human development. |  | Shirley Brice Heath
Education, Department of
Research is focused on linguistic and cognitive learning that takes place through means such as apprenticeship, mentoring, organizational management, and financial planning that depend on observing, listening, and modeling that goes beyond verbal instruction. Current research involves innovative means of enabling young artists who want to be community organizational leaders to have opportunities to advance their own work as artists while also studying nonprofit management and finance. This work is international and includes young people as members of the research team. | | | Wilbur Johnson

I am currently working on topics related to literacy and the arts, examining the relationship between an arts-integrated curriculum and the development of student literacy in both elementary and secondary schools. |  | Jin Li
Education, Department of
I mainly study how children across cultures and ethnic groups develop learning beliefs, how they are socialized in this development, and how their beliefs influence their actual learning and achievement. My research involves preschoolers, schoolchildren, and college students. I am also interested in children's self-concepts in learning. My second research interest is in how children across cultures develop self-conscious emotions such as pride, honor, respect, shame, guilt, and embarrassment. |  | Deborah Rivas-Drake
Education, Department of
My research seeks to illuminate the processes by which young people make sense of their place in society, especially in terms of race, ethnicity, and social class. Currently, my research focuses on two questions: (1) How do schools, families, peers, and communities shape the development of ethnic identity in adolescence? and (2) How do youths' beliefs about ethnicity and opportunity inform their academic and psychological well-being? I am particularly interested in the interplay between social identity development, perceptions of opportunity, and educational success as well as psychological health, and I examine these issues across the span of adolescence through young adulthood | | | Maureen Sigler
