Disruptions such as school closures, immigration enforcement, mass incarceration, gentrification, and environmental racism are cumulatively displacing low-income communities and communities of Color. The overlapping nature of these issues call for intersectional approaches that draw upon the expertise of youth and community organizers, educators, and university researchers working in equitable partnerships, consistent with the tradition of community-based participatory research.<br \/>\nThe Conference brings together members of URBAN from across the country to discuss their efforts to build and sustain research partnerships that address these issues. The\u00a0Conference\u00a0will take place from\u00a0May 17-19, 2018 in Denver, Colorado.
