Thanks to @jncohen @socannex for having me on to talk about #racializedorganizations and my article in @HarvardBiz. And thanks to @jasonsm55 for co-hosting. https://twitter.com/socannex/status/1264866352604594178
. @jasonsm55 was being modest. You should check out his work (with Spalter-Roth and Shin) on orgs and academic success for underrepresented faculty: [ https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2332649218807951
At the end of the interview, when @jncohen asked what people should check out if they are interested in race and orgs, Zoom dropped my connection. So, here is a thread work on race and orgs and some other stuff we talked about:
Here is a link to my @HarvardBiz piece we talked about. It is pay walled but if you want a copy DM me your email address and I’ll send it to you. https://hbr.org/2019/11/why-so-many-organizations-stay-white
And here is my @ASR_Journal piece on which the @HarvardBiz piece is based: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0003122418822335
. @Prof_Wooten put together an amazing volume with great chapters from folks like @Melissa_v_abad @Fabiorojas @VincentRoscigno @Prof_deLeon @LuciusCouloute @daniellepurifoy, @kyla_Walters @blackcapitol, Reginald Byron, Christi M. Smith: https://books.emeraldinsight.com/page/detail/Race,-Organizations,-and-the-Organizing-Process/?k=9781787564923
Dr. @AdiaHWingfield’s recent book on race and the medical profession shows how the field often outsources diversity work to Black workers: https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520300347/flatlining
And @AdiaHWingfield and @KojiChavez wrote a really perceptive @ASR_Journal piece showing how Black worker’s location in an organizational hierarchy influences their understanding of structural or interpersonal racism. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0003122419894335
This piece from Veronica Lerma, Laura Hamilton, and @kellyjnielsen is related, focusing on how higher ed organizations appropriate (and don’t compensate) the labor of students of color.(and look out for Hamilton and Nielsen’s forthcoming book): https://academic.oup.com/socpro/article-abstract/67/2/286/5488730?redirectedFrom=fulltext
. @DonTD_tweets and @DustinAventHolt’s Relational Inequalities is required reading, laying out a broad theory of org inequality that includes, but goes well beyond, race: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/relational-inequalities-9780190624439?cc=us&lang=en&
I mentioned @haw95’s brilliant (and terrifying) book on experimentation on people of color. It goes way beyond Tuskegee. It is a book that forever changes you: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/185986/medical-apartheid-by-harriet-a-washington/
. @PhdAmaka’s book is great, showing how universities protect whiteness and resistance to civil rights never stopped: [ http://cup.columbia.edu/book/to-fulfill-these-rights/9780231183093]
@ellenberrey’s work on diversity is also crucial to understanding how organizations use (and abuse) race: https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/E/bo19910067.html
I also recommend @lauragarbes work-in-progress on @NPR that we talked about here: [ http://sociocast.org/podcast/race-at-npr/](%22)
. @Insurgent_Prof’s diversity regimes shows, among other things, how Universities use “diversity” to avoid dealing with racialized power. I and am happy to see folks putting my work in conversation with his: https://www.rutgersuniversitypress.org/bucknell/diversity-regimes/9781978800410
Here is a @nytimes piece on land-grant universities and the theft of Native American land that I mentioned. In my opinion, the U.S. sociology of race and ethnicity has woefully understudied native issues: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/07/opinion/land-grant-universities-native-americans.html?referringSource=articleShare
I’m sure I’m forgetting folks (please forgive me it is early and I’m still drinking coffee) but feel free to tag work on race and orgs that I neglected to include. It is an exciting time to be working on race and orgs because so much great work is coming out.
