The Trace: An Emerging Group of Researchers Is Changing Our Understanding of Gun Violence
March 8, 2024 — The Black and Brown Collective was founded in 2022 by Dr. Shani Buggs, a professor at the Violence Prevention Research Program at UC Davis. The collective was formed to address inequities in the gun violence research community and supports around 30 Black and Latino gun violence researchers nationwide, providing tools for navigating the field as well as a sense of community. Its diversity is reflected in its work — and is strengthening the field itself.
