“…As we have noted, these findings are probably biased in favor of those who have experienced upward mobility and may have followed the White normative logics of academia. Likewise, a substantial minority seem to have obtained positions at research extensive institutions, despite processes, biases, and perceptions that may work against them, notwithstanding their qualifications (Sharpe, 2017).…”

Under-represented minority (URM) faculty can expand the range of perspectives taught to students, but only if they are hired, granted tenure, and promoted. Their career paths can be constrained due to a stratification process that appears to legitimate a non-Hispanic White male set of rules and practices, including value neutrality and objectivity. This article measures specific aspects of human and social capital and their relationship to academic stratification in two social science disciplines, economics and sociology. Here, we measure stratification by the distribution of academic rank and examine differences based on discipline, institution type, race/ethnicity, gender, and publications in terms of academic career success. Our data are unique because they are gathered from multiple secondary sources. One contribution of this article is to measure social capital as a "two worlds" phenomenon, taken from W. E. B. Du Bois. Not surprisingly, we find that "publish or perish" still rules. Conversely, URM-oriented social capital, which can provide a safe space and opportunities to collaborate on scholarly work, is not significant. But, it may be related to feelings of satisfaction and inclusion. The only exceptions are URM-oriented sections in sociology. The article concludes with a series of policy recommendations to support URM faculty members in their careers.

“…Whether the focus should be on doctorate-granting departments is debatable. More recently, Sharpe (2018) has argued that the emphasis on diversifying the economics pipeline should focus on the departments that award the bachelor's degree.…”

“…Whether diversity efforts are focused on at the undergraduate or graduate level, the consequences of the 'colour line' were revealed in the 2019 American Economic Association (AEA) Climate Survey, which found that 43 % of Black men and 53% of Black women reported experiencing discrimination based on their race. It is unclear whether the lack of Blacks in the economics profession has intensified the hostile environment for Black economists at all stages of the profession, but there is evidence that suggests the discrimination felt by Black women has led to a decrease in the number of Black women pursuing an economics degree at the undergraduate level (Sharpe 2018.…”

The Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) is a network of over 1,500 research economists based mostly in European universities. The Centre's goal is twofold: to promote world-class research, and to get the policy-relevant results into the hands of key decision-makers. CEPR's guiding principle is 'Research excellence with policy relevance'.A registered charity since it was founded in 1983, CEPR is independent of all public and private interest groups. It takes no institutional stand on economic policy matters and its core funding comes from its Institutional Members and sales of publications. Because it draws on such a large network of researchers, its output reflects a broad spectrum of individual viewpoints as well as perspectives drawn from civil society.CEPR research may include views on policy, but the Trustees of the Centre do not give prior review to its publications. The opinions expressed in this report are those of the authors and not those of CEPR.

The National Economic Association (NEA) started out as the Caucus of Black Economists in December 1969. At the onset of the 50th Anniversary of the NEA’s founding, this presidential address looks at the organization’s past, present, and future to improve the prospects for current and future African American economists. Three recommendations are offered: support The Review of Black Political Economy, the NEA’s journal; help develop regional student chapters; and continue to foster allies that are aligned with the NEA’s mission. The Economics field needs to be better about becoming diverse and inclusive, and the NEA can lead the movement toward those goals.
