English

This study examined assignments by students from a university in Scotland and a university in the USA. The findings suggest the terminology of race issues in assessments may be inappropriate for students because they allow racism to be marginalized from practice or presented in a way that conveys little analysis.

French

Cette étude a examiné les missions des étudiants d’une université en Ecosse et d’une université aux Etats-Unis. Les découvertes suggèrent que la terminologie des questions de race dans les évaluations existantes puisse être inappropriée pour des étudiants parce qu’elles permettent au racisme d’être marginalisé de la pratique ou présenté d’une façon qui conduit peu à l’analyse.

Spanish

Este estudio examina trabajos realizados por estudiantes de una universidad en Escocia y una universidad en EEUU. Los resultados sugieren que los problemas con la terminología ‘raza’ dentro de los trabajos existentes pueden ser inapropiados para los estudiantes porque permiten que el racismo sea marginado de la práctica o presentado en una forma que permite muy poco análisis.

Key Words: analysis • anti-racism • assignments • race issues
