“…In this study, the division between black and white students in lecture rooms was common, but particularly blatant. This observation corroborates with other studies, suggesting that the absence of racial assimilation and incorporation results in isolation, and active racial discernment (Pande and Drzewiecka, 2017). Racial disruption as a teaching strategy aimed to eradicate racial division.…”

“…As such, if group tasks are affected by segregation, cooperative learning might be difficult to achieve, mainly if the issues of conflicts of identity, negative interdependence or engagement, and a lack of responsibility or accountability towards an anti-racist classroom are present. Pande and Drzewiecka (2017) suggest that racial assimilation and incorporation are better models of addressing anti-racism in classrooms opposed to integration that involves merely inter-mixing and not a process of fully understanding. Pande and Drzewiecka (2017) argue that if students maintain racial consciousness within their conscious mind, then integration will help overcome stereotypes, preconceptions and prejudice based on skin colour.…”

Abstract The notion of racial difference and racial segregation has continued to be problematic in higher education studies. Students belonging to Ethnic Minority groups often feel segregated even in courses and classrooms that promote anti-discriminatory and anti-racist practices. This paper presents a study that investigated seventy-five students from the BA and MA student cohorts within a London-based university. Students were encouraged to integrate and interrogate matters of race and belonging during a seminar on protected characteristics designed to disrupt racial division. Qualitative surveys were conducted to understand participants' views about racial disruption and experiences after the activities. Findings revealed ongoing segregation after the activity in and out of the classroom, fear of approaching racialised spaces, the need for additional brave reflective spaces that disrupt racial segregation and foster better understanding about race. The paper concludes by stressing the significance and value of racially disruptive teaching activities and racial assimilation in social work programmes as a means of tackling racial bias, segregation and decolonisation.

“…White and Asian raters draw on the Whiteness of an occupation, rewarding jobs with more White workers in them. Pande and Drzewiecka (2016) find that some Asian Americans may engage in a process of strategic alignment with Whites, rather than a process of strategic assimilation; the findings here support that notion. 6 Black and Hispanic raters, meanwhile, do not see Whiter jobs as more prestigious, in accordance with the strategic assimilation perspective.…”

Constructing the Racial Hierarchy of Labor: The Role of Race in Occupational Prestige Judgments*

Sociologists of culture are interested in processes of valuation, such as the way we value the division of labor. Typically measured through occupational prestige, prior research on this topic has largely neglected the potential role of race in the construction of the status hierarchy. This study asks whether and how race shapes judgments of occupational prestige, drawing on key insights from the sociology of race and ethnicity (Whiteness as a credential, strategic assimilation) to test key predictions about racial composition and a person's own racial identity in this process. Combining data from the 2012 General Social Survey with federal administrative data, I find that Whiter jobs are, in fact, seen as more prestigious, even after taking into account an occupation's level of required education/training, pay, industry, and gender composition. Further analyses demonstrate that this pattern is primarily driven by White and Asian raters and by raters with a college degree. Overall, then, this study indicates that the racial segregation of occupations impacts not only wages but also the status they confer to their incumbents.
