🐣 🔓 This #OpenAccess paper introduces the concept of “street raciology” to theorise how Polish migrants in post-2004 Britain vernacularly produce racial knowledge. The concept captures the improvised classification work that serves social ordering and boundary-policing in everyday interactions.

🐣🔓 Texas is more diverse, but #whiteness is more protected. How? #ERSNew research shows how racialized groups face disproportionate surveillance & incarceration, while "race-neutral" laws shield white Texans, even in poverty. As demographics shift, these mechanisms recalibrate, not dismantle.
