The second installment of the Special Issue “Critical Approaches to Adolescent Development: Reflections on theories and methods for pursuing anti-racist developmental science” focuses primarily on theory and the theoretical lenses that shape how we “see” adolescents. Such a focus is necessary for moving forward anti-racist adolescent research. Theories serve as starting points, establishing our assumptions about what we know, the place where we move from. We cannot “do” better research if we do not take stock of what we “know” and more critically “how” we know it. The authors in this issue do this with candor, clarity, and intentionality, offering us theoretical frames that identify, name, and destabilize the status quo. They offer us anti-racist lenses and language to (re)define what adolescence and adolescent development is and does—and what it ought to be. They present theories that embed action and activism, that move us—across disciplines, outside of academic spaces, and into spaces that are often silenced and invisible. They shift our vision from objective, white-centric knowledge to multiple ways of knowing. It is our hope that the contributions in this double Special Issue will change how we see and do research with adolescents, and also change us as scholars and humans.

特刊“青少年发展的关键方法：对追求反种族主义发展科学的理论和方法的反思”的第二部分主要关注塑造我们如何“看待”青少年的理论和理论视角。这种关注对于推进反种族主义青少年研究是必要的。理论作为起点，建立我们对我们所知道的，我们从哪里出发的假设。如果我们不评估我们“知道”什么以及更批判地“如何”知道它，我们就无法“做”更好的研究。本期作者坦率、清晰和有意地做到了这一点，为我们提供了识别、命名和破坏现状的理论框架。他们为我们提供了反种族主义的镜头和语言，以（重新）定义青春期和青少年发展是什么和做什么——以及它应该是什么。他们提出的理论将行动和激进主义嵌入其中，让我们跨越学科，跨越学术空间，进入经常沉默和隐形的空间。他们将我们的视野从客观的、以白人为中心的知识转变为多种认识方式。我们希望这本双重特刊中的贡献将改变我们对青少年的看法和研究方式，并改变我们作为学者和人类的方式。
