Abstract
Perceptions About the Role of Race in the Job Acquisition Process: At the Nexus of Attributional Ambiguity and Aversive Racism in Technology and Engineering Education
Highlights
This study explored the role of race in the negative job acquisition outcomes of African American graduates of a federally funded multi-institution doctoral training program
Did the program fail these students in some way? Were they less prepared or less accomplished than their White colleagues? Was the outcome the result of racial bias in the field of technology and engineering education? In this paper, we explore answers to these complex questions through the perceptional lens of the program faculty and fellows and through the theoretical lens of tokenism
Tokenism is a psychological state imposed upon persons from demographic groups that are rare within a work context (Kanter, 1977a; Niemann, 2003)
