SUMMARY:The Culture Trap: Ethnic Expectations and Unequal Schooling for Bla
 ck Youth
DESCRIPTION:2 May\, 17:00-18:30\nJoin the Centre for International Educatio
 n at the University of Sussex for an event with Derron Wallace\, cultural 
 sociologist of race\, ethnicity\, and education at Brandeis University\, U
 SA.\nIn The Culture Trap\, Derron Wallace argues that the overreliance on 
 culture to explain Black students' achievement and behaviour in schools is
  a trap that undermines the historical factors and institutional processes
  that shape how Black students experience schooling. This trap is conseque
 ntial for a host of racial and ethnic minority youth in schools\, includin
 g Black Caribbean young people in London and New York City.\nSince the 192
 0s\, Black Caribbeans in New York have been considered a high-achieving Bl
 ack model minority. Conversely\, since the 1950s\, Black Caribbeans in Lon
 don have been regarded as a chronically underachieving minority. In both c
 ontexts\, however\, it is often suggested that Caribbean culture informs t
 heir status\, whether as a celebrated minority in the US or as a demoted m
 inority in Britain.\nDrawing on rich observations\, interviews and archive
 s in London and New York City schools\, Wallace suggests that the use of c
 ulture to justify Black Caribbean students’ achievement obscures the ver
 y real ways that school structures\, institutional processes\, and colonia
 l conditions influence the racial\, gender and class inequalities Black yo
 uth experience in schools. Wallace reveals how culture is at times used as
  an alibi for racism in schools\, and points out what educators\, parents 
 and students can do to change the beliefs and practices that reinforce rac
 ism.\nThis event will be held in EH19\, Essex House\, University of Sussex
  (Campus Map) and streamed on Zoom.\nFull details and registration here!
