“…In the United States, discrimination and racial intolerance for so long have been the norm that it frequently goes unnoticed among members of the European American community (McDowell & Jeris, 2004;Orfield & Lee, 2006;Jay, 2003). This discrimination negatively affects the lives of people who have been marginalized.…”

“…CRT is committed to social justice and the eradication of racism by promoting the experiences of women and people of color. It has been used to interpret American foreign policy (Gordon, 2000), and is a theoretical underpinning in marketing communication (Borgerson and Schroeder, 2002), marital and family therapy (McDowell and Jeris, 2004), postmodern philosophy (Cook, 1991(Cook, /1992, and other areas of interest.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to examine the hypothesis that Whiteness is used as a normative standard when comparing a variety of first names. Design/methodology/approach -Respondents (full-and part-time business students) evaluated names that sounded common, African-American, Russian, and unusual. Findings -Results from two studies suggest that "common" or "neutral" names are perceived to be white, and to be more American than African-American, Russian or unusual-sounding names. Results also demonstrate that the common names have more positive attributes, including socio-economic class.Research limitations/implications -The study found that the basic comparison of American respondents will be to a white person. Second, the authors applied Critical Race Theory (CRT) to the research on names. Finally, the authors demonstrate that unless they are totally anonymous, virtual teams will still have the type of social categorization and stereotyping of team members found in ordinary teams. Practical implications -Organizations and managers need to recognize that a "colorblind" approach simply reinforces the expectation that any differences in American organizations will be compared against the Whiteness standard. This can be a problem in any organizational setting, especially given the proliferation of virtual teams. This may be addressed with attempts to increase common in-group identity and strategies for identifying bias. Originality/value -In this research the authors integrate concepts and theory from Virtual Teams, CRT and the Psychology of Names, providing both theoretical and practical implications.

Families are inextricably embedded within their larger sociopolitical contexts, an observation acknowledged by many theorists. The field of family therapy is working on its translation into comprehensive and effective approaches for helping families change. This article illustrates the use of the Cultural Context Model to help families change, guided by the linked foundational concepts of accountability, critical consciousness, and empowerment. The authors support their discussion of theory with examples illustrating the ways in which social patterns connected to race, gender, class, and sexual orientation shape the dilemmas that family members encounter, as well as their access to solutions.
