The goal of this two-part special issue is to present and engage theories and methods for pursuing anti-racist developmental science and to provide a critical self-evaluation of the field of adolescent development. The first volume in this series encompasses empirical-focused manuscripts that engage in doing anti-racist scholarship through critical methodological approaches (e.g., QuantCrit, Critical Qualitative Research, and Youth-Participatory Action Research) with opportunities for critical self-reflection for scholars, as well as centering research around adolescents who are systematically marginalized in scholarship within the field of adolescent development. In this introduction, we stress the value of engaging in anti-racist research within the field of developmental science and provide an overview of the articles, placing these manuscripts in conversation with one another and gleaning insights with respect to the who, what, how, and why of anti-racist developmental research with adolescents. This special issue intentionally features manuscripts that embrace plurality in methodology, exhibit an openness to challenging dominant research paradigms (i.e., intentionally rooting out racist ideologies, methods, and theories within the field), and place an introspective spotlight on the process of conducting research. We conclude by offering our collective considerations and points of reflection for pursuing anti-racist research.

这个由两部分组成的特刊的目标是提出和参与追求反种族主义发展科学的理论和方法，并提供对青少年发展领域的批判性自我评估。本系列的第一卷包括以经验为重点的手稿，这些手稿从事做通过批判性方法论方法（例如，QuantCrit、批判性定性研究和青年参与行动研究）获得反种族主义奖学金，为学者提供批判性自我反思的机会，以及以在该领域学术界被系统性边缘化的青少年为中心的研究青少年的发展。在本介绍中，我们强调了在发展科学领域从事反种族主义研究的价值，并提供了文章概述，将这些手稿相互对话，并就谁、什么、如何、和为什么与青少年的反种族主义发展研究。本期特刊特意刊登方法论多元化的手稿，对挑战主导研究范式（即有意铲除该领域内的种族主义意识形态、方法和理论）持开放态度，并对进行研究的过程进行反思。最后，我们提出了我们进行反种族主义研究的集体考虑和反思点。
