2023-2024 Research Awardees
Dr. Nicole Lorenzo (CAS, Psychology) is the inaugural recipient of ARPC’s Racial Justice Research Seed Grant. Concerned by the low enrolment of children from Latine communities in mental and behavioral health intervention programs, Dr. Lorenzo will be developing a study aimed at building community partnerships and identifying barriers and facilitators to behavioral parenting interventions in Latine families. As a result, she plans to create a set of culturally informed guidelines for Latine parents of preschool children.
Dr. Mariam Durrani (SIS) is the inaugural recipient of ARPC’s Jackie and Richard Meisenberg Fellow. Dr. Durrani’s project explores the impact of the War on Terror policies in both US and Pakistani higher education. During her fellowship, she will be developing a book manuscript that, based on mult-sited ethnography, examines how racial regimes in both countries shape access and mobility in higher education.
