Faculty Scholarship
Student evaluations of faculty teaching are critical components to the evaluation of faculty performance. These evaluations are used to determine teaching effectiveness and they influence tenure and promotion decisions. Although they are designed as objective assessments of teaching performance, extraneous factors, including the instructors’ race, can affect the composition and educational atmosphere at colleges and universities.

Thirteen in-depth interviews were conducted with master’s degree–holding high school social work practitioners.

Literature on the mixed race population has only more recently focused on the phenomenon of racial misrecognition, or the incongruence between racial identity and racial perception by others.

The study explored racial identity, racial markers, disclosure and passing, family context, experiences of …
