For studies of U.S. colleges and universities, this question animates inquiries into the higher education context that ask why long-standing marginalization persists among students and faculty despite expanded access to these institutions. Although researchers continue to advocate for including students and faculty from historically excluded backgrounds, sociologists have increasingly turned to historical and structural analyses to explain how access and inclusion alone are not enough to promote student or faculty success (Okechukwu 2019; Wooten 2016). The goal is not nebulous cultural change, which ignores how organizations were formed in relation to racism, but transformative change. With transformative change, structural racism is challenged in its various forms, and individuals create a collective, antiracist orientation to build something new (Chang 2002). From this lens, sociologists have studied how colleges and universities changed their norms of exclusion, particularly from the post-Civil War period onwards. Focusing on how cultural norms changed in different eras of student and faculty relations, scholars traced why college officials pragmatically removed restrictive norms that explicitly privileged White, male, and Protestant students from the colonial social elite (Karabel 2005; Synnott 2010; Wechsler 2014; WilliamsonLott 2018; Wooten 2016). For instance, colleges were the province of the social and economic White elite between the late-1800s and the mid1900s (Brubacher and Rudy 1968), but this changed after World War II when the federal government invested in enrolling students into an expanded, stratified system of advanced education. In the postwar period, advanced training was more accessible because colleges and universities were progressively integrating their White campuses. Although some cautioned that the expansion of access into a stratified system would produce a further stratified society based on credentials, others argued that broadened access represented a necessary move to actualize the United States as a multiracial and multicultural democracy (Collins 2019; Ris 2021).

As sociologists have emphasized, however, these DNA-based technologies have also risked reinvigorating dubious connections between biology and race. In this article, we outline a class assignment utilizing YouTube videos that feature consumers narrating the results of their DNA-based ancestry testing. The assignment invites students to interrogate the claims of consumers, who often seamlessly connect their ancestry results to particular racial and ethnic identities. As a result, students are poised to better understand how race and ethnicity are social constructions rather than individual biological traits.","PeriodicalId":46879,"journal":{"name":"Sociology of Race and Ethnicity","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47447999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data from the Stanford Education Data Archive, I compare math and reading test score disparities between White and Latinx students in public school districts in the four states along the U.S.–Mexico Border—California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas—with districts outside of the Border region. I find that reading and math test score disparities widen with proximity to the Border. Results indicate that educational and family-income differences between White and Latinx adults explain the disparity in math test scores. However, the reading test score disparity on the Border remains net of school and community factors, suggesting legal violence and immigration enforcement may be impacting Latinx youth and, therefore, increasing the size of the test score disparity. Finally, I find the test score disparities between the Border region and interior districts do not vary significantly in size across the four Border states.","PeriodicalId":46879,"journal":{"name":"Sociology of Race and Ethnicity","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44987636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with 47 residents, I interrogate interpersonal relationships, feelings of belonging, and how residents’ lack of sociopolitical agency contribute to perceptions of intergroup relations. Past research evidences both coalition and tensions between Puerto Rican and Black co-residents, including shared marginalization experiences leading to increased coalition, or economic competition leading to contention. As migration to new immigrant destinations continues to rise, this study suggests minoritized groups may hold discordant conceptualizations of their relationship, what I refer to as “cultural contention.” While Puerto Ricans describe a shared sense of marginalization and unity with their Black neighbors, Black residents express concerns over displacement. With the precarious status of the community, there are few opportunities for residents to coalesce, and further fragmentation is possible.","PeriodicalId":46879,"journal":{"name":"Sociology of Race and Ethnicity","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46971930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Beyond the Positivism/Non-Positivism Binary as a Step Toward Inclusive Sociology","authors":"Vernon Headley, Annie Jones, Shannon K. Carter","doi":"10.1177/23326492231170533","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/23326492231170533","url":null,"abstract":"This article contributes to a movement to interrogate the history and foundation of sociology. The current hegemonic narrative credits a few European men for establishing sociology as a mechanism for using science to understand social conditions amid the rise of industrialization and modern capitalism. This hegemonic story defines positivism as a central concern in the foundation of the discipline, justifying its continued dominance in U.S. sociology and using binary logic to position non-positivist approaches as subordinate and unscientific. In this article, we explore the ways early Black sociologists integrated positivist and non-positivist approaches in their work to arrive at truth and discuss ways that transcending binary distinctions facilitated rich developments in their understanding of social relations and institutions. We draw on existing scholarship to argue that privileging binary logic helped justify these scholars’ marginalization in the sociological canon and conclude with recommendations to move the discipline beyond the positivism/non-positivism binary as an important mechanism for transformation. In so doing, we contribute to the growing body of scholarship aimed at correcting the history of sociology and reimagining the foundational works and epistemological approaches to foster liberation within the discipline.","PeriodicalId":46879,"journal":{"name":"Sociology of Race and Ethnicity","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45653720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
