Dear RSF:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please join us next Wednesday, April 16th<\/sup> at 11 in the library and on Zoom for a presentation by Visiting Scholar Brittany Fox-Williams, “Trustworthy Schools: Centering the Perspectives of Black Students.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fox-Williams is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Lehman College, CUNY. She also serves as Director of Lehman College’s Trust Lab and as a faculty affiliate at the CUNY Institute for Demographic Research. Fox-Williams’ research specializations include race and ethnicity, social inequality, education, and urban sociology. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

She examines the contours of racial inequality among youth in the American education and justice systems\u2014especially as it concerns their interactions with authority figures. Secondary strands of focus include minority youths’ processing of involuntary police officer contacts and the exploration of how the discipline of Sociology frames and impacts inequality reduction efforts. She holds a PhD in Sociology and an MPA in Urban and Social Policy from Columbia University, and a BS in Business Administration from Cheney University of Pennsylvania. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At RSF she is working on a book examining trust as an overlooked dimension of racial inequality in education. Her mixed-methods study draws on longitudinal data from the New York City Department of Education and 90 interviews conducted in NYC public high schools to investigate the racial dynamics of trust in schools and to identify strategies for fostering trusting school climates for racially minoritized youth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
