<em>Black Mixed-race Male Experiences of the UK Secondary School Curriculum</em>

Abstract

Drawing on findings from 20 semi-structured interviews carried out in 2013, this article seeks to contribute to the limited body of literature exploring the schooling experiences of the mixed-race population in the United Kingdom. Taking a particular focus on the secondary school curriculum, the article provides examples in which Black mixed-race males identify as Black and as mixed-race, interchangeably and simultaneously. Therefore, the article suggests that if we are to fully understand the experiences of Black mixed-race males, the development of a new conceptual framework that acknowledges the coalescence of Blackness and mixedness is necessary. Although the focus remains on Black mixed-race male pupils, the analysis may raise new questions for the way we view mixedrace populations.

Monoracial normativity in university websites: Systematic erasure and selective reclassification of multiracial students.

“…We have examined patterns of website representation of multiracial people by only a small group of higher educational institutions within the United States. We do not attempt to generalize our findings to the 2-year sector or to institutions that are outside of our sample, especially given global constructions of race and mixed race (e.g., Joseph-Salisbury, 2017; King-O’Riain, Small, Mahtani, Song, & Spickard, 2014). We believe that this group of institutions offer a good start for theory-building purposes and hope to extend this work to other types of institutions in future.…”
