A Structural Model of the Relationship Between Student–Faculty Interaction and Cognitive Skills Development Among College Students (2015, background): “…1999), students of color being overlooked by faculty members (Solórzano et al. 2001), and minoritized students’ sense that their academic ability was not taken seriously (Fries-Britt and Turner 2001), even for students in a selective honors program (Fries-Britt 1998, Fries-Britt and Griffin 2007).”
Investing in the future: The importance of faculty mentoring in the development of students of color in STEM (2010, background): “…a high level of contact with professors of color, viewing them as role models and proof that success in higher education is possible (Allen, 1985; Banks, 1984; Fries-Britt and Griffin, 2007; Griffin, 2008; Loo and Rollison, 1986; Patton, 2009; Patton and Harper, 2003; Tierney and Bensimon, 1996).”

The Influence of Racism-Related Stress on the Academic Motivation of Black and Latino/a Students (2010, background): “Studies by Fries-Britt and Griffin (2007), Fries-Britt and Turner (2001), and Harper (2006) are examples of important research that focuses on factors leading to success of Black students rather than factors that lead to failure.”
Race and Racism in the Experiences of Black Male Resident Assistants at Predominantly White Universities (2011, background): “Others recalled instances where they were forced into positions to advance the “angry Black man” stereotype—a threatening disposition of aggression and violence (Smith et al., 2007), opposite of the “nice Black man” phenomenon described by Fries-Britt and Griffin (2007).”
"Cool Posing" on Campus: A Qualitative Study of Masculinities and Gender Expression among Black Men at a Private Research Institution (2022, unknown): “…four decades, much has been written about the experiences of Black college students (e.g., Allen, 1992; Feagin, Vera, & Imani, 1996; Fleming, 1984; Fries-Britt & Griffin, 2007; Fries-Britt & Turner, 2001; Guiffrida, 2003; Love, 1993; Nettles, 1987; Patton, 2006; Sedlaček, 1987; Thompson & Fretz,…”
