Fri, Nov 15, 8:00 to 9:20am, Salon 13 - Lower B2 Level

Session Submission Type: Regular Session

Abstract/Description

In this series of studies, authors explore the ways that racial and ethnic group categories influence how individuals identify themselves (and distinguish themselves from others), and how these categories shape groups' experiences and motivations for action. O'Neill and Leverso present on ethnic identity among Latino gang members; Potter examines how racial identity shapes individuals' school disciplinary experience, while Hamm explores the racialization of sex workers; and Oesteraas shows how ideologies of group superiority influence bias-based violence.
