CREA conducts research on issues of identity, culture, health, and education. Specifically, CREA examines how dominant representations of race, gender, and social class in health and school contexts shape the daily experiences and self-understanding (e.g., performance, belonging, well-being, self-concept) of underrepresented and diverse individuals, including ethnic-minorities and working-class people.
