Medina is an assistant professor of applied human development in BU Wheelock College of Education &amp; Human Development. As a Latino first-generation college graduate, he is deeply interested in the systems and contexts that support student success. His research examines the benefits of ethnic-racial identity development and diversity across social contexts. More broadly, his work concerns what young people believe about their ethnic-racial heritage, what interpersonal and societal factors shape these beliefs, and what challenges youth may face in navigating a racialized society and educational system.
