What Teens Say About What They Watch

The Center for Scholars and Storytellers works with leading
social scientists to develop research insights and tools that are
useful for content creators crafting authentic and inclusive
stories for youth (ages 2-25). We work with a wide range of
organizations from traditional media, tech and gaming, consumer
products, and public health and education. When content is
created from a research-informed perspective that is authentic
and inclusive, it can deliver strong financial returns and
support the mental health of the next generation so they can
thrive and grow.

Stephanie Rivas-Lara (she/her) is a 1st year
graduate student working to obtain her Master of Social Welfare
at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where she
also received her BA in Psychology with a minor in Spanish. She
currently works as the Research Coordinator for the Center for
Scholars & Storytellers where she focuses on providing
support on varying projects focused on diversity and
representation. She is broadly interested in working with
marginalized communities, particularly children and adolescents,
to support their needs and ensure their well-being. As a first
generation, Latina, and queer individual, she feels that media
has played a huge role in understanding her own identity and that
of others.
