Introduction: The lives of young people in the first place, but of all of us, are much more complicated than to immediately, almost automatically, pour the "generation sauce" on everything. However, it seems that today, in scientific, science communication and popular literature, the generational response often seems to be the only one.…

Racism in the U.S. is systemic and has relied on centuries of deliberate practice to create a White male hegemonic (White supremacist) power structure. Being systemic, racism is reproduced in all of our defining institutions, including higher education. In addition, White women have consistently contributed to the reproduction of racism by…

When students are grouped into school tracks, this has lasting consequences for their learning and later careers. In Germany to date, some groups of students (boys, ethnic minority students) are underrepresented in the highest track. Stereotypes about these groups exist that entail negative expectations about their suitability for the highest…
