Nation’s talk is presented by the Peabody Research Office and is open to the Vanderbilt community as well as to the public.

Nation’s work focuses on preventing violence among school-aged children, understanding the community and neighborhood qualities and characteristics that promote youth development, and developing programs and practices that promote positive school climate and equity for students of color.

He has been principal investigator on numerous grants from sponsors such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institute of Justice, and the Health Resources and Services Administration.
