SUMMER 2025 LABS
The Culture, Emotion, and Health Lab is directed by Dr. William Tsai.
The Culture, Emotion and Health Lab studies how people regulate their emotions, cope with stress, and how these processes lead to health and well-being. We focus our research questions on how cultural tendencies and values can shape the development and use of these processes. Our work is interdisciplinary, spanning across social, clinical, and health psychology, and we study both healthy and clinical populations.
The Homeplace Lab is directed by Dr. Lauren Mims.
The Homeplace Research Collective (Homeplace) studies the brilliance of Black children and their families through community-engaged, child-centered Black child development research.
The Arcadia Lab is directed by Dr. Pamela Morris-Perez.
ARCADIA is a research lab that takes a developmentally-informed, population-health approach to adolescent suicide. Traditional approaches to suicide prevention have been largely confined to the formal mental health system, creating a disconnect from the places and people that shape adolescents’ daily lives. This system-level isolation has led to delayed intervention, limited accessibility, and difficulty in early identification - ultimately reaching only a small portion of youth who need support, often years after suicidal thinking begins.
The Universal Pre-K Project in directed by Dr. Pamela Morris-Perez.
UPK is an initiative with NYU University & NYC Schools Division of Early Childhood Education to foster a research-practice partnership to support the roll-out of universal pre-kindergarten through Pre-K For All improving the quality of its programming. This partnership aims to provide quantitative & capacity-building solutions to educational problems faced by the DOE-DECE.
The Culture, Families, and Early Development Lab is directed by Dr. Gigliana Melzi.
The work conducted at the CFD team reflects our joint commitment to address systemic inequities faced by children from minoritized and marginalized communities in the US and Latin America. Our work spans three main areas: Family Language and Literacy Practices, Family STEM Practices, and Family-School Connections.
The R.I.S.E. Lab is directed by Dr. Erin Godfrey and Dr. Shabnam Javdani.
The Researching Inequity in Society Ecologically (RISE) Team advances research and knowledge to improve the lives of traditionally marginalized youth populations, focusing on urban poverty, court-involved women and youth, and adolescents at high risk for court involvement, through the rigorous application of translational, interdisciplinary research paradigms. The RISE Team envisions, develops and enacts research and interventions with and for the communities we study.
The FACES Lab is directed by Dr. Anil Chacko.
The vision of the FACES Lab is to contribute to the generation of knowledge that informs how to support youth experiencing behavioral difficulties and their families to lead successful and flourishing lives. Our mission is to engage in research, scholarship, and direct services that develop, evaluate and provide informal and formal approaches to increase access and engagement to optimize interventions to reduce burden and enhance flourishing of youth with disruptive behavioral challenges and their families.
