The Center on Race and Social Problems (CRSP) at the University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work was designed to address societal problems through research, intervention, and education. It is the first center of its kind to be housed in a school of social work and it is unique in both its multidisciplinary approach and its multiracial focus.〔"Center on Race & Social Problems: About the Center". University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work. 2011-11-29. Retrieved 2012-08-14.〕 The mission of CRSP is to conduct solution-oriented social science research on race, ethnicity, and color and their influence on the quality of life for Americans in the 21st century. CRSP has identified seven major areas of race-related social problems: economic disparities; educational disparities; interracial group relations; mental health practices and outcomes; youth, families, and the elderly; criminal justice; and health. In 2002, the School of Social Work at the University of Pittsburgh established the Center on Race and Social Problems (CRSP) to help lead America further along the path to social justice by conducting race-related research, mentoring emerging scholars, and disseminating race-related research findings and scholarship. Today, CRSP is one of the most productive and exciting centers in the country. In 2010, it hosted the largest conference on race ever held in America. In addition, the center offers a speaker series, summer institutes, and an online directory; publishes demographics reports and the journal Race and Social Problems; and much more. == The Directory == The CRSP website is now both a traditional source of information on Center activities and a searchable database. The searchable database (Directory) has been created so that users can easily find and access all of the videos, publications, and other information produced by the Center during its history. The Directory presently contains: * Information on all seven areas of focus for the Center * Listings of all center activities * 150 videos of lectures from the lecture series, summer institutes, and the Race in America conference * Pilot studies and other research projects at the Center * 200 publications * Education, including study abroad course in Cuba, other graduate courses on race/ethnicity, and student paper awards 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Center on Race and Social Problems」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
