“Old” universities in the UK are typically populated with White middle-class students who hail from White majority hometowns, whilst “new” universities have more diverse cohorts from diverse hometowns. Our research conducted with 17 Black students at a predominantly White university, examined the initial encounters in which Black students first realise their minority status on campus. We found that White numerical dominance combined with White students' racialised place-based assumptions about who belongs where, had an immediate and powerful impact on our participants. Importantly, our findings suggest that for Black students coming from diverse hometowns, experiences such as being the only Black person in lecture halls, being told that you are the first Black person your peers have met, and being expected to use urban street slang and sell drugs constituted both a denial of their student identity and a misrecognition of their Black identity. Our analysis highlights the importance of considering the diversity within institutions alongside Black and White students' place-based histories with diversity; and how these are consequential for Black students' experiences of (mis)recognition and (non)belonging on campuses.

“当你与白人背景形成鲜明对比时,你从未感到如此黑人”:黑人学生在英国以白人为主的机构的经历

英国的“老”大学通常有来自白人占多数的家乡的白人中产阶级学生,而“新”大学则有来自不同家乡的更多样化的学生群体。我们对一所以白人为主的大学的 17 名黑人学生进行了研究,调查了黑人学生第一次意识到他们在校园中的少数族裔身份的最初遭遇。我们发现,白人的数字优势与白人学生关于谁属于哪里的种族化基于地点的假设相结合,对我们的参与者产生了直接而强大的影响。重要的是,我们的研究结果表明,对于来自不同家乡的黑人学生来说,他们的经历包括成为演讲厅中唯一的黑人,被告知你是同龄人遇到的第一个黑人,被期望使用城市街头俚语和贩卖毒品既是对学生身份的否认,也是对黑人身份的误认。我们的分析强调了考虑机构内部的多样性以及黑人和白人学生具有多样性的地方历史的重要性;以及这些对黑人学生在校园中的(错误)识别和(非)归属感的体验有何影响。请参阅补充材料部分以查找本文的社区和社会影响声明。以及这些对黑人学生在校园中的(错误)识别和(非)归属感的体验有何影响。请参阅补充材料部分以查找本文的社区和社会影响声明。以及这些对黑人学生在校园中的(错误)识别和(非)归属感的体验有何影响。请参阅补充材料部分以查找本文的社区和社会影响声明。
