The panel will address the grand challenge to achieve equal opportunity and justice by analyzing two areas of social inequality in the United States. First, it will examine institutional barriers and opportunities to create safer environments for higher levels of academic achievement and to address social stigma as a fundamental cause of inequality. Second, it considers the integration of immigrants into US society by highlighting innovative efforts to immigrant integration originating from within Latina/o immigrant communities. Also discussed is how these topics can be formulated into a stronger focus in research, education, and practice.
