My friends, check out the book trailer for #TheCultureTrap! I've been using it with students, teachers, school leaders and policymakers to highlight the book and start a conversation about how culture can be used as an alibi for racism in US & UK schools. youtube.com/watch?v=d0IWmoqc…
ALT In this audio-visual account, I explain the driving force behind my new book, The Culture Trap: Ethnic Expectations and Unequal Schooling for Black Youth (Oxford University Press, 2023). I point out what led me to write this book, what I found after years of research, and why cultural factors and structural forces matter for Black youth in schools and society. I acknowledge and thank my son, Jeremiah, for encouraging me to produce this piece for public audiences.
November 7th, at 4:30 pm!
Join us as Dr. Derron Wallace explains how contemporary anti-racism discourse and the looming liabilities of summoning culture in popular discussions limit the social and scholastic outcomes of Black youth in the United States and around the world.
