Race and the Hidden Curriculum: Exploring the Relationship between Race Centrality and Student Perceptions of On-Campus Socialization Practices

Students' racial identity is informed by their school environment. The process of school racial socialization involves the transmission of stated and unstated beliefs, values, and stereotypes regarding one's racial identity within the academic setting. Instructors, faculty, staff, administrators, and leadership all play a role in the racial socialization of college students. This is critical to student success as the possession of a healthy racial identity, formed by way of racial socialization, leads to increased academic and social success for Black students, particularly at predominately White institutions (PWI). This quantitative study sought to understand the relationship between race centrality, a proxy for race identity, and the perceptions of campus racial socialization for Black undergraduate students. Participants were derived from a medium-sized, four-year PWI in the Southeast. Although all correlations were deemed statistically insignificant, the mean of the sample's race centrality and the means of the components of campus racial socialization provide a valuable snapshot of the state of the campus's racial climate. Instructors, faculty, staff, administrators, and leaders can use similar data to increase mental health support for Black students, aid in retention and recruitment, and improve overall belonging and feelings of psychological wellbeing and safety.
