Time, Skin, and Class: Emerging Constructs in Human Development
Fri, April 25, 11:40am to 1:10pm MDT (11:40am to 1:10pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 110Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
Identifying remedies to promote equity and justice in education requires the advancement of new ideas. This session presents research on emerging constructs from interdisciplinary perspectives, including education, psychology, sociology, and from international research projects. First, social class discrimination is shown to be associated with academic achievement among adolescents in the United States. Second, colorism is used to illustrate a “principle-policy gap” between individual values and endorsed policies in the United States. The third and fourth presentations examine time attitudes, a novel construct referring to thoughts and feelings about the past, present, and future. One study indicates that time attitudes are associated with academic ranking in New Zealand, while another study shows that time attitudes longitudinally predict student-teacher relationships in Germany.
