Racialized Emotions as Maps and Compasses for Students of Color Navigating a Predominantly White University
Students of color in predominantly White institutions (PWI's) encounter racial microaggressions, the often subtle, but powerful, offensive experiences that are steeped in racism and occur in the course of everyday life. They also experience racial microaffirmations—moments where their racial identities or racialized realities are affirmed, validated, supported, or protected. We employ sociologist Bonilla-Silva's concept of racialized emotions to …
A Dream Deferred
Despite high college expectations and enrollments among young people, their trajectories through higher education have become increasingly complex. Even after initially starting as “traditional” students, many college graduates are only able to complete a bachelor’s degree after a series of stops and starts across multiple institutions. While there is a growing body of research regarding nontraditional students, we know very little about how thes…
Neutralité raciale et diversité
Cet article propose d'analyser les cadres raciaux, ou les prismes par lesquels les individus interprètent le rôle de la race dans la société, mobilisés par les étudiantes et étudiants blancs de deux universités d'élite étatsuniennes. Pour la plupart d'entre eux, l'entrée dans une université d'élite coïncide avec le renforcement du cadre de la diversité qui met l'accent sur les retombées positives de la diversité culturelle. Beaucoup adoptent, cep…
Brave Community
This study asks, “How do instructors successfully engage students in learning about controversial issues of race without hitting the common tripwires of low trust, stereotyping or racial microaggressions?” To address this question, I conducted a study of two courses on race that were focussed on difficult issues, yet were consistently highly rated by students in evaluations. What I found led me to an emerging theory about how instructors can fost…
Learning Race to Unlearn Racism
Over the past two decades, higher education research has built a consensus that engaging with coursework on race is beneficial to students’ socioemotional and cognitive development. Paradoxically, we do not have clarity as to what that means, specifically. Most studies exploring the association between diversity courses and the development of students’ racial understanding examine a variety of dependent variables and consider combinations of outc…
Colour-blindness and diversity
In this paper we bring together the literatures on frame analysis, the meaning of race and campus racial climate to analyse the race frames - lenses through which individuals understand the role of race in society - held by white students attending elite US universities. For most, the elite university experience coincides with a strengthening or emergence of the diversity frame, which emphasizes the positive benefits of cultural diversity. Still,…
