“SHE IS SUCH A SPONGE AND I WANT TO GET IT RIGHT”: TENSIONS, FAILURES, AND HOPE IN WHITE PARENTS’ ASPIRATIONS TO ENACT ANTI-RACIST PARENTING WITH THEIR YOUNG WHITE CHILDREN Research in Human Development (IF 4.154) Pub Date : 2021-05-31 Amy E. Heberle, Noah Hoch, Anna C. Wagner, Reihonna L. Frost, Melissa H. Manley
Whiteness, rooted in White supremacy, gives White people access to power while shielding them from seeing racism and its impacts or from acting to resist racism. Anti-racist allyship occurs when White people act to dismantle racist systems, and it therefore can reduce the socialization into values and epistemologies of Whiteness that uphold White supremacy. In the current study, we examined aspirations

REFLECTIONS ON THE LIFESPAN MODEL FOR ERI DEVELOPMENT Research in Human Development (IF 4.154) Pub Date : 2020-12-28 William E. Cross
A critique of the ERI Lifespan model is offered. The ERI Lifespan Model appears to place undue weight on factors inherited rather than socialized. It also appears to lean toward a political frame of refence favoring a cultural-nationalist orientation. The Model does not explain how a significant percentage of youth categorized as ER at birth, nevertheless, achieve an identity centered on something
