Yeah, that is a major problem, and I'm definitely not suggesting that the status quo is good, but I still think group work and collaboration are vital for learning. I don't know how to reconcile these issues.

One of the reasons I left compsci was that being in the out group and having that rubbed in my face affected me. And significantly more so than any positive I ever got from group work. That was a decade plus ago though so perhaps change has been afoot?

Yeah, the fact that marginalised people are excluded from its benefits is a major part of why group work creates problems, but when group work works it really does work very well, which is part of why it has such a strong exclusionary effect - its benefits accrue to privileged.

IIRC there's been some research on this phenomenon in the context of people of colour (I think primarily african-american?) in US universities, but my memory of the subject is so vague I can't really say more about it than that.

Yes, there's lots of work in psychology on this. Of course.

@o_guest had a PhD in Psychology...
