Framing Institutional Identity in 5 Million Words
School-Level Bureaucrats
Through three years of training, school counselors build a professional identity based on providing social-emotional, academic, and postsecondary guidance to students. But school counselors face conflict in meeting these expectations in a bureaucratic environment that asks them to prioritize efficiency when meeting with students rather than building one-on-one relationships. I draw from interviews with high school counselors and school personnel …
The Long Arm of Early Exclusionary School Discipline? A Multi-Model Analysis
In this analysis, we consider how a potentially important triggering event in the life course-exclusionary school discipline-may affect students' high school outcomes. We extend the literature to focus on the long-term effects of exclusionary discipline that occurs in the early grades, when students are relatively young and when a significant share of exclusionary discipline first occurs. We further evaluate the potential, long-term effects of ex…

In this study, I use data from Latino, Asian, and multiracial emerging adults to explore the complexities of racial/ethnic self-identification and group belonging. I find that—when allowed to differentiate between the race with which one most identifies and the racial group one most feels a par…
All Talk and No Action? Racial Differences in College Behaviors and Attendance
According to the influential 'oppositional culture' account, we should expect black students as a group to be less likely to engage in school than their white counterparts because they are more likely to believe and act in opposition to academics. In contrast to this prediction, qualitative and quantitative researchers have almost uniformly deduced that black students hold similar or higher educational values, attitudes, and expectations as compa…
