PI and Co-PI: Orlando Patterson and Simone Ispa-LandaSocial and Academic Urban to Suburban Racial Desegregation A Natural Experiment0824564 Abstract This study uses a natural experiment in the suburban public schools surrounding a Northeastern city to examine the processes through which continual immersion in divergent neighborhood contexts influences individuals and communities. The research has two overarching goals. First, the project seeks to understand how routine exposure to a majority-White, affluent suburban neighborhood context could influence the social and academic behaviors and aspirations of African-American adolescents from urban neighborhoods. Second, the research aims to identify the processes through which these students affect the social and cultural landscape of their school communities. Methodologically, the research relies on a comparison of three groups of eighth-to-tenth grade students in a metropolitan area. The first group attends majority-White schools in affluent suburban school district through a racial desegregation program (n=30). Members of the second group have been waitlisted for the desegregation program and attend low-performing, majority-minority public, charter, and parochial schools in the city (n=30). The third group consists of affluent White suburban students attending schools that participate in the desegregation program (n=30). Broadly, the research will provide theoretical and empirical insight into how social inequalities are reproduced and interrupted. The research will benefit policy makers by identifying the mechanisms through which exposure to an affluent suburban environment influences less privileged adolescents.

PI和Co-PI：Orlando Patterson和Simone Ispa-Landa社会和学术城市到郊区的种族废除隔离一个自然实验0824564摘要本研究使用了一个自然的实验，在郊区的公立学校周围的东北部城市，通过不断沉浸在不同的邻里环境影响个人和社区的过程。 这项研究有两个总体目标。 首先，该项目旨在了解如何日常接触到大多数白人，富裕的郊区社区环境可能会影响来自城市社区的非裔美国青少年的社会和学术行为和愿望。 其次，研究旨在确定这些学生影响学校社区社会和文化景观的过程。 在方法上，研究依赖于三组八至十年级的学生在大都市地区的比较。 第一组通过种族隔离计划（n=30）在富裕的郊区学区就读白人占多数的学校。第二组的成员已被列入取消种族隔离计划的候补名单，并参加低性能，多数少数民族公立，特许和教区学校在城市（n=30）。第三组由富裕的白色郊区的学生就读的学校，参加废除种族隔离计划（n=30）。 从广义上讲，这项研究将为社会不平等是如何再现和中断的提供理论和经验上的见解。 这项研究将通过确定暴露于富裕的郊区环境影响弱势青少年的机制，使政策制定者受益。
