A primer of reflective questions to assist researchers with framing, analysis, and interpretation student-level data frequently used identify disparities assess course-level programmatic interventions is provided support the scientific community enhancing how we understand address systemic inequity in STEM fields.
Students' sense of belonging in college-an individual's feelings contentment, mattering, importance, and "finding one's place" a social setting-can influence choice major career trajectory. We contribute to the belongingness literature through mixed methods intersectional study students attending STEM-focused public university we call Meadow State University (MSU). assess potential for students' intersecting identities differentially their experiences with oppression-subjection multiple...
Abstract Background Large introductory lecture courses are frequently post-secondary students’ first formal interaction with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Grade outcomes in these often disparate across student populations, which, turn, has implications for retention. This study positions such disparities as a manifestation of systemic inequities along the dimensions sex, race/ethnicity, income, first-generation status investigates extent to which they...
The present study used data from the American Trends Panel to examine interplay between perceived COVID-19 health threat, discriminatory beliefs in medical settings, and psychological distress among Black Americans.

Yet, both models hold distinctive, even antagonistic, assumptions on how white identities are formed their relationship to (anti-)racism.

Abstract Social scientists generally agree that the post‐Civil Rights form of racism is different from which existed in Jim Crow‐era United States. However, beyond this agreement, what exactly modern and “looks like” debatable. With mind, a surprising somewhat disturbing trend frequently occurs among social can have real consequences within academia general public: conflation.

This study uses a nationally representative survey to examine the relationship between attitudes about genetics and race. We focus on ways in which negative out-group behavior can be explained as innate genetic (Pettigrew’s “ultimate attribution error”), how this may underlie racial prejudice individualism—the notion that individual capabilities, not structural inequality or discrimination, drive stratification. racially ameliorative policies. find whites are more accepting of explanations...
Institutions of higher learning are characterized by multiple, often intersecting, social-educational structures aimed at regulating the conditions which a degree is ultimately granted. The sequence courses that students must take for one such structure. Building on Sloan Equity and Inclusion in STEM Introductory Courses (SEISMIC) Collaboration’s prior work, we provide comparative view students’ pathways through selected curricula two participating institutions. We apply process analytics to...

Abstract As the United States becomes more racially and ethnically diverse draws students from across globe, representative data are needed to understand at-risk underrepresented populations in higher education, particularly science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) fields. The authors argue that current reporting standards for Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) result misrepresentation of racial ethnic STEM by forcing non-U.S. into a "master status" category...
Abstract The examination of student group performance is a constant need as American higher education continues to expand and become more racially ethnically diverse. Recent scholarship on the academic Black students at elite colleges universities has glossed over possible disparities among these students, particularly different immigrant groups. current study clarifies differences in by examining four groups United States: native Blacks, immigrants from Africa, Caribbean Latin America,...
To conclude this volume, we first engage in a brief history of scientific racism and the extent to which it resonates with public. We then attempt explain why American society culture continue fall prey seduction biological determinism racial essentialism: (1) DNA mystique, (2) revolutions paradigm shifts, (3) ethno-politics genetics, (4) dismissals social science as “soft,” (5) defense biology against reactionary dismissals, (6) aura “objectivity” surrounding genetics.
