How do we have an impact when our most conscientious m ethodology—measuring\, understanding\, and communicating material and expe riential “realities”—is increasingly discredited by those who construct al ternate truths to serve their agendas? Furthermore\, how can our findings speak to and of emotions such as fear and anxiety\, which are regularly sc apegoated onto the most marginalized individuals rather than attributed to their economic and social causes?\n\nIMPACTS director Dr. Shaheen Shariff and research assistants Chloe Garcia\, Milka Nyariro\, Andrea Velghe\, Sh annon Hutcheson\, Sarah Lewington\, and Christopher Dietzel are presenting at the 2019 AERA Annual Meeting.
