and behaviors that may be deemed socially problematic. Race, racial context and socioeconomic privilege figure prominently
among the structural variables he studies, while the self-concept, scholastic performance, attitudes toward inequality, and
psychological functioning comprise the orientations and behaviors of current interest. Oates has published articles in such
