SUMMER 2026 LABS
The Connect Lab is directed by Dr. Elise Cappella.
The Connect Lab conducts research to understand and strengthen contexts for learning and mental health in low-income education settings. We study natural opportunities for academic, social, and emotional learning via productive relationships and quality interactions.
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 research on Black child development.
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 Intergroup Conflict and Social Change Lab is directed by Dr. Michelle Twali.
The Intergroup Conflict and Social Change Lab at NYU examines the factors that contribute to the persistence of intergroup conflict and violence, and the ways of reducing it.
The Mental Health Equity Lab
The Mental Health Equity Lab
The Mental Health Equity Lab is directed by Dr. Lillian Polanco-Roman
The Mental Health and Equity Lab at NYU aims to investigate the sociocultural context of the development of mental health problems, as well as in the promotion of mental well-being among racially/ethnically minoritized and immigrant adolescents and young adults
