The boost students VOSTFR Remettre dans l'ordre

So, I teach college students about inequality and race in education, and I like to leave my office open to any of my students who might just want to see me to chat.

And a few semesters ago,one of my more cheerful students, Mahari, actually came to see me and mentioned that he was feeling a bit like an outcast because he's black.

And so I started to remember that I know that feeling of being an outsider in your own community.

He had just transferred to NYU from a community college on a merit scholarship, and turns out, only about five percent of students at NYU are black.

It's partially what drew me to my work.

At my university,I'm one of the few faculty members of color,and growing up, I experienced my family's social mobility, moving out of apartments into a nice house, but in an overwhelmingly white neighborhood.
