Tasha M. Childs, PhD, MSW, LMSW (she/her/hers)

Assistant Professor
University of Missouri - Columbia
Columbia, MO, United States

Dr. Childs’ research and scholarly activity research primarily focuses on racial inequity in schools (public PK-12 schools in the US) by examining two primary mechanisms: 1) teacher racial bias as a contributor to racial inequity and 2) school social workers as racial equity agents. Her secondary research area focuses how these mechanisms may contribute to inequities in access to child and adolescent mental health services and supports. Recently, Dr. Childs has explored teachers’ development of relationships with students who are marginalized based on their racial or ethnic identity. Dr. Childs’ goal is to develop an intervention that reduces teacher racial bias in the classroom and leverages school social workers to lead interventions in schools.
