Anti-Racism Task ForceIn the summer of 2020, the SRA President Velma McBride Murry established an ad-hoc Anti-racism Task Force to develop and deploy actions that hold SRA accountable to our commitment to being an actively anti-racist society and seeking to uproot systems of White supremacy in three broad areas: 1) within SRA; 2) within academia; and 3) within the discipline of adolescent research. The committee aims to ensure the application of anti-racist policies in our society, provides support for scholars from underrepresented and minoritized groups and facilitate greater visibility of SRA’s mission to support anti-racism efforts in academia, scholarship, and practice that benefit adolescents across the world. The committee has three workgroups that will address these three areas across the biennial (2020-2022). Members were identified by the Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice co-chairs, the Vice-President of Programming (who will be chairing the Task Force), and the President and were selected due to past commitment to anti-racism as well as taking into account diversity in membership.
