Culture and Class in Marginalized Minority Educational Attainment<\/em> \u200b(2017), was a quantitative study of demographic and cultural predictors of educational attainment for a nationwide sample of Black and Latinx high school students. Specifically, he analyzed the differences in future educational outcomes for poor marginalized minority students compared to their non-poor counterparts, and found that socioeconomic status significantly shapes the context in which demographic and cultural factors operate to produce those outcomes.<\/p>\nCurrently, Dr. Takeall is developing a qualitative study of middle-class Black adults who volunteer with youth mentoring programs for \u201cat-risk\u201d adolescent Black kids. This project examines the adults mentors\u2019 perspectives regarding the young people\u2019s prospects for upward mobility and navigating the contemporary urban racial terrain. Research on intra-racial class politics and racial uplift strategies such as youth mentoring programs is of heightened importance in the wake of Obama\u2019s supposedly \u201cpost-racial\u201d presidency coupled with the apparently increased precariousness of Black life in the 21s\u200bt\u200b Century United States.<\/p>\n
While Queens College is Dr. Takeall\u2019s primary campus, he has taught courses in Urban Sociology and African American Studies at several New York City colleges, including The CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies, The City College of New York, and Columbia University.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
