Britney Moreira is a doctoral student in the Critical Social/Personality Psychology program. Her research focuses on criminal and juvenile (in)justice and its impact on Black adolescent development. Her work, values, and ethics are all rooted in her desire to highlight the power, altruism, and solidarity that lives within the Black community while also using her work to fight oppressive systems that threaten it, such as the criminal justice system. Britney works collaboratively, primarily conducting critical participatory action research (CPAR) that focuses on combating racial and systemic injustice, and prioritizes lived experiences amongst Black and Latinx communities. She is a recipient of the Ford Foundation Fellowship and the Mellon Humanities PublicsLab Fellowship. Britney’s work and involvement in organizations such as the Prison Creative Arts Project has led to her advocacy for and current scholarship exploring arts-based alternatives to youth incarceration.
