Adoption Context, Parental Investment, and Children's Educational Outcomes
Adoptive parents invest more resources into their children than comparable nonadoptive and biological parents, a pattern strongly linked to parental socioeconomic status. But important differences among families related to adoption context (international, private, foster) could affect parental investment and its impact on educational outcomes. Using the National Survey of Children's Health, our findings indicate that parental investment strategie…
Juxtaposing the Black and White Gender Gap
Objective This research examines the factors influencing the reverse gender gap in college enrollment between Black men and women and compares them to the factors affecting the gender gap between Whites. Methods We use data from the National Educational Longitudinal Study (NELS) and logistic regression to address our research questions. Findings The results reveal that Black male students fare worse than all other race‐gender groups on virtually …
School Segregation in the Era of Accountability
Although a great deal of research has examined the impact of accountability on a number of different outcomes, particularly achievement, little research to date has assessed the impact of school accountability reform on racial segregation in schools. Using school, district, and state-level data from the Common Core of Data from 1987 to 2010 and data on school accountability from other sources, we examine black-white within-district segregation be…
Parental race as symbolic and social capital
As the number of biracial individuals in the US continues to grow, so does research focused on them. While some of this literature examines how biracials fare on a host of social outcomes, little research examines whether part-white biracials are able to use their whiteness as a resource to gain additional resources or rewards. This research seeks to close this gap. Using data from the 1st grade wave of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kind…
School Choice and Segregation
Three arguments regarding racial equity have arisen in the school choice debate. Choice advocates charge that choice will improve access to quality schools for disadvantaged minority students (Chubb & Moe 1990; Coons & Sugarman, 1978; Godwin & Kemerer, 2002; Viteritti, 1999). Critics argue that choice is unlikely to benefit minority students, but they are divided as to why this may be the case. Some maintain that unfettered choice leads to racial…
Linking Charter School Emergence to Urban Revitalization and Gentrification
The link between neighborhood quality and school quality is long-standing and well established. Over the last two decades there have been several federally sponsored initiatives aimed at revitalizing the urban core; initiatives that emerged around the same time as charter schools. Despite the changing urban context that has occurred alongside charter school emergence, little research has addressed the link between urban revitalization efforts and…
School Quality and the Vulnerability of the Black Middle Class
Scholarship discussing the impact of class on black disadvantage centers around three general claims: (1) higher socioeconomic status (SES) curtails the disadvantages associated with race, (2) class does little to mitigate racial disadvantage because of the persistence of racism, and (3) race and class interact to produce different outcomes for persons from different race-class groups. Despite the abundance of research in the area, few studies ex…
