Citations in the corpus

• Students “at Risk” (2012, background): “, at risk), and educational placement of students continue to be legitimized and reinforced by inequitable color-conscious school policies, rules, and practices (Gillborn, 2008; Raby, 2005; Solomon & Palmer, 2004).”
• Race and Belonging in School: How Anticipated and Experienced Belonging Affect Choice, Persistence, and Performance (2015, background): “” That is, students, and even some teachers, associate the institution of education – and especially higher education – as a “White” enterprise (e.g., Carter, 2005; Gillborn, 2008; Lee, 2005; Leonardo, 2010; Lewis, 2003; Noguera & Wing, 2006).”
• The White British–Black Caribbean achievement gap: tests, tiers and teacher expectations (2012, background): “…conscious racist intent on the part of individuals to encompass organisational arrangements that may have nothing to do with ethnicity directly, but nevertheless have a disproportionate negative impact on some ethnic groups (see Gillborn, 2008, pp. 27–28 and pp. 122–123 for a fuller discussion).”
• Do some schools narrow the gap? Differential school effectiveness by ethnicity, gender, poverty, and prior achievement (2010, result): “It may be that the results are evidence of widespread low expectations of Black pupils in English schools, and certainly some authors have argued this (e.g., Gillborn, 2008).”
• ‘When saying you care is not really caring’: emotions of disgust, whiteness ideology, and teacher education (2014, background): “Yet when asked whether they believe themselves to be an antiracist educator – an essential component to social justice, equity, and urban education (Gillborn, 2008) – some students respond with answers that unveil a color-blind racist discourse.”
