Beneath the White Noise of Postsecondary Sorting: A Case Study of the “Low” Track in Higher Education

The Journal of Higher Education, 2021, vol. 92, issue 4, 546-569

Abstract: Although tracking is typically the subject of secondary education, this embedded case study brings attention to the comparable mechanisms at work within postsecondary institutions that produce serious consequences for racially minoritized students admitted into the “low” track. By engaging Victor Ray’s newly conceptualized theory of racialized organizations, this article shifts attention toward the meso-level to enable a better understanding of postsecondary “organizational foundations, hierarchies, and processes” that are constituting and constituted by race.
