Virtual TexCEP Kickoff

The Texas Center for Equity Promotion was formed as an interdisciplinary research center with the vision of eliminating disparities in education and health among populations underserved by these systems. Faculty in the center use interdisciplinary approaches to understand, and intervene with, roots of inequities that surround children and families. Our applied, culturally centered research and practice have a broad emphasis on social and behavioral wellbeing, with a focus on contextual factors that impact education and health-related outcomes. Our mission is to support and conduct high-quality applied research, disseminate evidence-based information, and train future professionals regarding the nature, origins, contexts, effects, and elimination of inequalities in education and health. TexCEP was officially recognized as an organized research unit at UT in September, and over this past year our steering committee has been organizing and developing the center. We are excited to now open TexCEP for faculty and staff affiliations. Register for the kickoff : https://utcoe.regfox.com/texas-center-for-equity-promotion
