Excited to share my new article in Social Forces ! Using a survey experiment with 995 families, I show how race shapes beliefs about school safety. White, Asian, and Latine families perceive Black schools as less safe—even when safety ratings are identical. #Education #Race 1/4

It took me a while to realize this but the "Moving to Opportunity" project is rooted in racial essentialism. That's why I have a hard time grappling with those studies.
