项目摘要

Summary Colourism, skin shade prejudice in which light skin is privileged over darker skin shades, affects the life chances of people of colour, including their educational achievement, job prospects and relationship opportunities (Hunter 2002). The prejudice occurs within and between racialised groups. Although its widespread impacts have been documented in US studies, it is a relatively under-investigated facet of racism and one that has been largely overlooked in UK research. The proposed programme will push the frontiers of colourism research in the UK, exploring the differential impacts of colourism on secondary school students nationally.Specifically, the research will illuminate the ways in which young people understand, negotiate and/or perpetuate colourism in the UK. Taking an intersectional approach, it will investigate the extent to which colourism is recognised, and its gendered impact on 11-18 year olds of different skin shades, ethnicities, religions and social classes. It will also investigate how it affects their self-esteem and mental health. One key aim is to inform debates about colourism in the UK, with a particular focus on how it affects young people studying at secondary schools. Another aim is to reduce stigma about dark skin by developing strategies designed to disrupt skin shade prejudice.There are three central research questions: How do young people in the UK experience colourism? How does its extent and impact vary between groups? How is colourism understood and negotiated? The subsidiary research questions ask: How does a child's age, gender, ethnicity, skin shade and social class affect their experiences of colourism? What impact does colourism have on the self-esteem and mental wellbeing of young people in the UK? How do young people and their peers help to perpetuate colourism? What impact do families, teachers and the media have on young people's understandings and experiences of colourism?MethodsThe mixed-methods research will involve focus groups and interviews with secondary school students in London, Bristol and Manchester; focus groups with staff; interviews with parents; and a survey of young people throughout Great Britain. The focus groups and interviews will seek to establish how young people understand and negotiate colourism and the forms the prejudice takes within different schools. The research will include a participatory element in that a student advisory group will help shape the research and impact strategy. Parents will be interviewed to allow for an exploration of how ideas about colourism are negotiated between generations and within families. The qualitative research will inform the design of a survey of 1000 secondary school students, aged 11-18, in England, Scotland and Wales, conducted by a specialist research agency. The survey results will be used to provide an indication of the prevalence of colourism and its impact on young people of different ethnicities, skin shades, genders, social classes and sexualities.ImpactThe programme will raise awareness about colourism, how it is perpetuated and how it affects young people. It will support UK colourism research, facilitate international collaborations and inform and influence efforts to challenge colourism. It will lead to exhibitions to raise awareness about the prejudice at King's and venues in London, Manchester and Bristol that showcase students' artwork on skin shade alongside relevant extracts from student narratives. It will also lead to school resources designed to challenge colourism, which will include an animation produced in conjunction with an animation company and an artist of colour with input from young people. It will lead to the establishment of an international network to study colourism and facilitate the establishment of an agenda-setting colourism research centre.ReferencesHunter, Margaret. 2002.

摘要肤色，肤色偏见，浅色皮肤优先于深色肤色，影响有色人种人的生活机会，包括他们的教育成就、工作前景和人际关系机会(Hunter 2002)。这种偏见发生在被种族主义的群体内部和之间。尽管它的广泛影响在美国的研究中得到了记录，但它是种族主义相对研究较少的一个方面，在英国的研究中基本上被忽视了。这项拟议的计划将推动英国颜色旅游研究的前沿，探索颜色旅游对全国中学生的不同影响。具体地说，这项研究将阐明英国年轻人理解、谈判和/或延续颜色旅游的方式。它将采取一种交叉的方法，调查肤色被认可的程度，以及它对不同肤色、种族、宗教和社会阶层的11-18岁青少年的性别影响。它还将调查这如何影响他们的自尊和心理健康。一个关键的目的是为英国关于色彩旅游的辩论提供信息，特别是它如何影响在中学学习的年轻人。另一个目标是通过制定旨在打破肤色偏见的策略来减少对黑皮肤的耻辱。这里有三个核心研究问题：英国年轻人如何体验肤色？它的程度和影响在不同的群体之间有何不同？如何理解和协商色彩旅游？辅助研究的问题是：儿童的年龄、性别、种族、肤色和社会阶层如何影响他们的色彩体验？色彩旅游对英国年轻人的自尊和心理健康有什么影响？年轻人和他们的同龄人如何帮助延续色彩？家庭、教师和媒体对年轻人对色彩的理解和体验有什么影响？方法混合方法研究将包括焦点小组和对伦敦、布里斯托尔和曼彻斯特的中学生的采访；与工作人员的焦点小组；对父母的采访；以及对英国各地年轻人的调查。焦点小组和访谈将试图确定年轻人如何理解和谈判色彩以及不同学校内部的偏见形式。这项研究将包括参与性元素，因为一个学生顾问小组将帮助形成研究和影响战略。家长们将接受采访，以探索关于色彩旅游的想法是如何在几代人之间和家庭内部进行谈判的。这项定性研究将为一项由专业研究机构对英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士的1000名11-18岁中学生进行的调查提供设计依据。调查结果将被用来显示有色人种的流行程度及其对不同种族、肤色、性别、社会阶层和性别的年轻人的影响。该计划将提高人们对有色人种的认识，它是如何延续的，以及它对年轻人的影响。它将支持英国的颜色研究，促进国际合作，并为挑战颜色的努力提供信息和影响。它将在伦敦国王学院和伦敦、曼彻斯特和布里斯托尔的场馆举办展览，以提高人们对偏见的认识，展示学生关于护肤的艺术作品，以及学生叙事的相关摘录。它还将产生旨在挑战色彩旅游的学校资源，其中将包括与一家动画公司和一名由年轻人参与的彩色艺术家合作制作的动画。它将导致建立一个研究色彩的国际网络，并促进建立一个确定议程的色彩研究中心。2002年。“如果你是轻的，你就没问题”。性别与社会，16(2)：175-193。
