Adultification, Up Close-Dale Margolin Cecka on Race, Childhood, and Family Law

Albany Law professor Dale Margolin Cecka joins Hudson Mohawk Magazine to talk about adultification bias — the everyday ways institutions stop seeing Black children as children. Drawing on her recent op-eds in USA Today and Slate, she reflects on her own family, her clinic work, and what it takes for institutions to believe the people they’re meant to protect.
