Penn’s SAFELab sits at the intersection of technology and social work

The SAFELab, which is affiliated with Penn’s Annenberg School for Communication and the School of Social Policy and Practice (SP2), sits at the intersection of technology and social work, with a focus on studying how youth of color experience violence on and offline. SAFELab was previously based at Columbia University in New York City, but moved to Penn last summer when founder and director Desmond Upton Patton was named the school’s the Brian and Randi Schwartz University Professor.
