The semester system is about to start and as promised, I am sharing student rated favorite readings for an Advanced Topics in Race, Ethnicity, and Racism course.
I'm not being self-serving here, but my article with @CaitlinPatler was a big hit. This is because, at my HSI, students were eager to talk about the many harms of deportation and relief that DACA provides:pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28318760/
Likewise, students loved @V_Terriquez's paper on intersectional mobilization for the way it cross cut sexual, racial, and immigrant identity: academic.oup.com/socpro/article…
Unsurprisingly, chapters from Bonilla-Silva's "Racism without Racists" is a must. We read the first two and conclusion. rowman.com/ISBN/978144227…
I assign my first grad school pub, with Heather Kettry, after reading Racism without Racist because we interrogate colorblind racism on the web. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
Another big hit, as I have mentioned, is @jcmueller and colleagues paper on racial costuming link.springer.com/article/10.100…
I added a new article this year by Jennifer Leeman which elicited one of the best conversations on the US Census and racialization (or not) of Latinx/Hispanic link.springer.com/article/10.105…
To get at the complexity of identities as shaped by history, location, and language, @anthonyocampo's work is perfect! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Students always have a lot to say, from lived experience, about @drvictorrios work on the hypercriminalization of Black and Latino males link.springer.com/chapter/10.105…
Colorism might be one of the hottest topics in class. Students got a lot from @EllisMonk's work on Brazil
academic.oup.com/socpro/article…
Which we read alongside Lance Hannon's work on white colorism. Honestly, I could teach a whole course on colorism journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

My fam had a beautiful spring break wkd in LA. Full bellies, sun tans, and lots of bball. It was joyous seeing Black boys live fully. I was ready to ride this high - but it ended so abruptly after hearing that another BM was killed by the police.

#thread on spillover effects:
Losing one life to the police is more than enough, because #DanteWright mattered to many. It sets off a ripple effect in his community. & it becomes overbearing because we know that it is never just one. It is a pervasive systematic horror that ravages communities far and near.
Losing Black live to the police represents #StolenBreaths of those who are killed as @RRHDr , Medina, and @RheaBoydMD told us. But it also represents #StolenLivelihoods from those who are left behind

A lot of #Krug convos are bringing up issues related to racial identity, racial ambiguity, & colorism and I just want to say that all of these concepts are related but also very *different*

I want to share some relevant (mainly sociological) works in this #Thread
First, Nikki Kanna's work has explored passing and reflected appraisals for mixed race folks. Here w/ Cathryn Johnson on Black mixture "Passing as Black: Racial Identity Work among Biracial Americans" journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/01… and also Asian Ams too journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.117…
I love Jenn Sims' (@RavenclawSoc23) @SREJournal article on how questioning race impacts ID choice: "Reevaluation of the Influence of Appearance and Reflected Appraisals for Mixed-Race Identity: The Role of Consistent Inconsistent Racial Perception" journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
