Thank you for your interest in our study!
Dr. Ceema Samimi and the Liberation Lab at the University of Minnesota are conducting a study on how people understand school seclusion and its impacts. The study currently includes school personnel, parents, caregivers, and adults who experienced seclusion as students. We plan to also talk with youth who have expereinced seclusion in the near future.
This study has been reviewed by the University of Minnesota Institutional Review Board and will be ongoing from April 2026-September 2028. We will share updates about what we learn along the way.
