Looks at how Black Division I football players at predominantly white colleges draw on their pre-college experiences to feel like they belong on campus. Finds that early life experiences shape how they view the racial climate. Also finds that using their own sense of agency and receiving well-rounded support helps them feel connected at the university.
Introduces a fresh way to look at workplace fairness—not just by who’s in the room but how well systems like hiring, pay, training, promotions, and support treat people in a fair way. Finds that workplaces with less internal pressure, and those with more women and employees of color, scored higher on this fairness measure.
