NCFR remains committed to racial justice in the organization and the areas in which we work. As a continuation of the Board’s Racial Justice Initiative, we are curating racial justice resources for the NCFR website for use in our research, practice, and teaching as well as in our places of employment (e.g., education, health, family services, government, and other organizations).

We are asking members to contribute to this effort by submitting resources relevant to promoting racial justice in Family Science for possible inclusion in a new Racial Justice Resource webpage. We are interested in receiving scholarly articles, books, curriculums, classroom activities, data tools, infographics, videos, webinars, podcasts, research briefs, and websites (that may serve as a thorough explanation of subject or be a gateway to more resources on a dedicated subject).

Authorship will be credited for each item that is posted. Direction will be provided to authors of original materials on how to maintain ownership of those materials.
