SUMMARY:Justice Working Group presents "Playing with Anger: Racial Literacy and Health Interventions for Black Boys and Men"
DESCRIPTION:Date: 2/22 \n  \nTime: 4-6pm \n  \nLocation: 2nd Floor Conference Room\, The Heyman Center \nClick Here for Directions \n  \nRSVP Here \n  \nSpeaker: Dr. Howard Stevenson\, “Playing with Anger: Racial Literacy and Health Interventions for Black Boys and Men” \n  \nDescription: Understanding how the unique life experiences of Black boys and men can be integrated into the intervention protocols and measurement of randomized and quasi-experimental trials is the focus of this talk. Two mental health research projects funded by the National Institutes of Health examine the benefits of racial literacy. The PLAAY (Preventing Long-term Anger and Aggression in Youth) project uses basketball and racial socialization to help youth and parents cope with stress from violence and social rejection. Dr. Stevenson also co-leads the SHAPE-UP: Barbers Building Better Brothers project which trains Black barbers as health educators to teach Black males ages 18–24—while they are cutting their hair—to reduce their risk of HIV/STDs and retaliation violence. Both projects are based on recast theory which suggests a moderating role of racial socialization in building racial coping confidence toward conflict resolution skills. We will discuss the challenges and ramifications culturally relevant intervention for men of color. \n  \nDr. Howard Stevenson is the Constance Clayton Professor of Urban Education\, Professor of Africana Studies\, in the Human Development & Quantitative Methods Division of the Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania.
