  • Race and Ethnicity Workshop | Randolph Carr on Racial Alienation

    November 19, 2025 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm

    Join us for a presentation by Randolph Carr, discussing a research proposal on "Racial Alienation".
     
    Here's an abstract:

    Sociological research on race frequently treats formal commitments to equity as meaningful indicators of social progress, yet far less attention has been devoted to how racialized subjects interpret these commitments or how such interpretations shape their sense of belonging within the broader racial order. Across the social sciences, researchers continue to document racial disparities in employment, organizational life, political participation,and community well-being. One might expect that formal inclusion and expanded access would mitigate such disparities. Yet a growing body of work suggests that even where inclusion occurs, it does not reliably generate feelings of belonging, legitimacy, or recognition among Black Americans. This disconnect reveals a conceptual puzzle: how can formal incorporation and persistent estrangement coexist? Despite periodic references to racial alienation,sociology lacks a clear, historically grounded, and analytically coherent definition of what the concept names or how it might structure racialized experience.

    With this project, I hope to examine how racial alienation has been understood, how its meaning has drifted, and what features a reconstructed formulation must include to illuminate contemporary tensions between formal equality and lived estrangement. By clarifying its historical,conceptual, and interpretive foundations, my thesis aims to establish racial alienation as a robust analytic tool for future empirical research on the contradictions of racialized inclusion into capitalist, settler-colonialist relations.
