Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sankofa reexamines doctoral education through the lens of African American and Black experiences. Drawing on the African diasporic legacy of Sankofa and the notion that "it is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten," the contributors "go back" to address legacies of exclusion in higher education and take care to center and honor the contributions of historically marginalized doctoral students. Whereas earlier studies focused largely on socialization, departmental norms, and statistical portraits of doctoral degree attachment, this book illuminates the ways African American students encounter, navigate, and make sense of their doctoral experiences and especially the impact of race and culture on those experiences. Individual chapters look at STEM programs, the intersections of race and gender, the role of HBCUs, and students' relationships with faculty and advisors. Amid growing diversity across programs and institutions, Sankofa provides a critical model for applying culturally based frameworks in educational research, as well as practical strategies for better understanding and responding to the needs of students of color in predominantly White contexts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This phenomenological research study explores whether trust influences the experiences of African American students, particularly those in doctoral programs at predominantly White institutions. Recent studies suggest that colleges and universities can benefit in several ways by building and maintaining student trust. However, the body of research typically provides a general understanding of the role and benefits of student trust in the academic arena through the eyes of White students only. Very few studies examine the benefits of student trust for a diverse population, and even fewer address African American students enrolled in predominantly White doctoral programs. This research provides an alternative perspective of trust by identifying factors specific to African American doctoral students enrolled at the University of Denver using a conceptual framework that examines trust, invisibility and other factors. The primary data was obtained through separate in-depth interviews with eight African American doctoral student participants who shared their experiences, thoughts and perceptions of trust at this predominantly White institution. Narratives of four of the participants highlight their reflections and academic encounters in a racial environment. Using Creswell's (2007) approach to phenomenological analysis, four key themes emerged from the data as essential elements to establish a sense of trust: a strong sense of Blackness, a support system, the level of visibility and the relationship with the higher education institution. Findings from this research study suggest that race remains a salient factor for the study participants, even though a climate of inclusiveness in the classroom and strong support from faculty were described by most. However, on-going encounters of racial slights remain prevalent today for several of the students in this study. Study results offer implications and recommendations for academic professionals and leaders that suggest a re-examination of efforts to recruit and retain African American faculty, staff and students, as well as to create inclusive excellence through leadership at every level of the institution.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many facets that make up a doctoral student's life such as work, social, and family, and it is important to investigate their interactions and dynamics. The purpose of this study is to examine the personal experiences of African American doctoral students pursuing doctoral degrees at predominantly White institutions. Using a Grounded theory methodology as influenced by Critical Race Theory framework, I explored and conceptualized the multiple roles that 15 African American doctoral students must negotiate to successfully complete their programs. The themes that emerged from the data were space/ community, mentorship and advisor relationships, Being Other, Growth and Wellness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a new generation of African Americans completes college, an increasing number of students are aspiring to the Ph.D. as a stepping stone to a career in the academy and to fully participate in shaping our society. Most African Americans are conscious that they are the first in their families to embark on this journey. They are aware they will meet barriers and prejudice, are likely to face isolation and frustration, and find few sources of support along the way.This book, by twenty-four Black scholars who “have been there,” offers a guide to aspiring doctoral students to the formal process and to the personal, emotional and intellectual challenges they are likely to face. The authors come from a wide range of disciplines – from computing, education and literature to science and sociology. Although their experiences and backgrounds are as varied as they are as individuals, their richly diverse chapters cohere into a rounded guide to the issues for those who follow in their footsteps.From questioning the reader about his or her reasons for pursuing a doctorate, offering advice on financial issues, the choice of university and doctoral program, and relocation, through the process and timetable of application, interviews, acceptance and rejection, the authors go on to describe their own journeys and the lessons they have learned.These men and women write candidly about their experiences, the strategies they used to maintain their motivation, make the transition from HBCUs to PWIs, balance family and work, make the right choices and keep focussed on priorities. They discuss how to work effectively with advisors and mentors, make all-important connections with teachers and build professional and personal support networks. They recount how they dealt with tokenism, established credibility, handled racism, maintained their values and culture, and persuaded supervisors to legitimize their research interests in African American issues. This is both an inspirational and practical book for every African American considering pursuit of a doctoral degree.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dissertating During a Pandemic: Narratives of Success from Scholars of Color examines the experiences of doctoral students of color writing the dissertation currently and those who successfully defended their dissertation after the onset of COVID-19 and subsequent shutting down of college campuses in March 2020. While we know that scholars of color experience many barriers to completing the dissertation process prior to COVID-19 such as being in racist academic environments and being engaged in research areas that may not be supported by predominantly White faculty, it is important to consider how scholars of color are managing the dissertation process during this pandemic. We approach this book from an asset-based approach where chapter authors are approaching both the challenges and opportunities they have experienced due to being a dissertation writer during the pandemic. Chapter authors also provide poignant feedback on how professors can be supportive to their needs as dissertation writers. One especially important contribution of this book is that our authors are from a variety of disciplines including: education, social work, psychology, African American studies, and sociology. Additionally, chapter authors are doctoral candidates (and recent graduates) at predominantly White institutions, historically Black colleges and universities, and online universities. Given the breadth of institution types each chapter will provide poignant suggestions for doctoral students across the nation as well as for faculty who are looking to better understand the dissertation writer experience to support their own students. Because of the novelty of COVID-19, little is known about how doctoral students engaged in writing the dissertation during COVID19 are adapting. Moreover, there is little information available for professors on how to support their doctoral students during these unprecedented times. Thus, Dissertating During a Pandemic: Narratives of Success from Scholars of Color is positioned to be a must read for professors looking to support their doctoral student advisees as well as for doctoral students who are looking for strategies to navigate the dissertation process during the pandemic and beyond.

Download or read book History of the Association of Black Psychologists written by Robert L. Williams and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, The History of Black Psychologists: Profiles of Outstanding Black Psychologists is about the origins and development of African/Black psychology. It is essentially a sequel to Robert Guthrie's book Even the Rat Was White: a historical view of psychology (1976). Whereas Guthrie's book contains the history of early Black Psychologists (as Drs. Francis Cecil Sumner, Kenneth Clark, and Martin Jenkins to name a few) from 1920 to 1950, this book contains valuable information from the 60's through 2000 about why, where, and when the Association of Black Psychologists (ABPsi) was organized and developed. In addition, the book includes the autobiographical and biographical profiles of the lives, achievements and contributions of nearly 50 outstanding Black psychologists. There are many hard working, dedicated, and educated black men and women professionals whose success stories have not been told. Although their peers and colleagues respect many of these professionals, only a select few have been reported as "outstanding." What is it, then, that qualifies one as being exceptional, above the ordinary and outstanding? It is hard to define in terms of human traits and accomplishments. What is easier is to provide examples rather than explanations of what it means to be outstanding. Such individuals who exemplify the definition of outstanding are many unknown Black Psychologists. This book will present some of these Scholar Activists. It is apparent that the majority of the Black psychologists made it against the odds. Many of these psychologists were born in southern states and had to migrate to northern states to receive a graduate education. For Black achievement is invariably a triumph over odds, a victory over struggle. In order to receive graduate education these psychologists report how they had to overcome the destructive effects of racism. Frequently, they were the only Black students in the graduate program. But they still made

Book excerpt: While there is comprehensive research presented on university college climate and experiences of undergraduates that correlate with their success (Gay, 2007; Hurtado, 1992; Hurtado & Carter, 1994; Milem et al, 1998; Harper & Hurtado, 2007), the discourse that surrounds the success and achievement related to the experiences of graduate students, and doctoral students in particular, is limited to largely academic factors. Academics only explain part of graduate student success (Golde, 2000). This study seeks to address the gap in the current literature which fails to address the racialized experiences of African American doctoral students. Using hermeneutic phenomenology, this study explores the narratives of nine African-American doctoral candidates to understand how from the perspective of race, graduate study is experienced at one predominantly white campus located in the Midwestern region of the United States. The hermeneutic phenomenological analysis reveals that the nine African American doctoral students are experiencing psychological warfare (the perpetuation of isolation, violence, fear and tokenism). The findings also indicated that African American graduate students developed an academic consciousness (that is, utilizing both double and triple consciousness; Dubois, 1903; Fanon, 1967) as a way to think about and navigate the psychological warfare they experienced. Lastly, the study found that participants developed tools for surviving their academic environments (e.g., developing and cultivating same-race relationships, self-imposed isolation, racial agency and self-discovery). This study provides us with ways to think about how the issues that impact graduate students (e.g., sense of belonging, self-efficacy, socialization and campus climate) and their implications transcend race and individual experiences (e.g., impact the academic labor force). The study concentrates on ways to disrupt the inherent cycles of violence that exist within academe so that university communities become more equitable, welcoming, and transformative spaces for students of color and African-American graduate students in particular.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to understand the narratives of African-American male doctoral students at predominately White Institutions (PWIs). The research questions guiding this study were: 1. How do African-American male doctoral students describe their doctoral journeys at predominately White Institutions (PWIs)? 2. In what ways do the narratives of African-American male doctoral students support or refute the literature on African-American males in college? Narrative interviews were conducted with seven African-American/Black men who earned doctoral degrees from predominantly White institutions representing multiple disciplines, including educational psychology, higher education and leadership, adult education, and engineering science. The data revealed three major themes. First, it was found that all of the participants were the only or one of few African-American men in their doctoral programs and classes and carried that knowledge as part of their daily academic consciousness. Given their status as being the "only one" in their doctoral programs and classes, the majority of the participants said they experienced feelings of isolation, alienation, and invisibility. The second theme revealed that the participants survived the doctoral process by drawing on cultural wisdom and the advice of family members and other graduate students, African-American men and women. The third theme found in the data was that participants possessed a notion that they were earning a doctoral degree not only for themselves, but others0́4their community. There were two major conclusions from this study: 1.) African-American male doctoral students at predominately White institutions (PWIs) approached their doctoral experiences guided by a racial consciousness that informed their identities and helped them to navigate their educational experiences using a culturally grounded schema and; 2.) The narratives of African-American male doctoral students at predominately White institutions (PWIs) provided a multi-dimensional profile that both supported and refuted the literature, revealing stories of stress from underrepresentation, isolation and racial stereotyping, while also relating accounts of high performance, persistence, and strength.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study documented the similarities and differences in the experiences of Black doctoral students with racism and RBTS. For this study, the researcher focused on six Black doctoral students and their lived experiences with racism in society and specifically at a large mid-western university. There is a history of research on racism, and there are also gaps in our understanding of the impact of racism on Black doctoral students (Barker, 2016; Truong & Museus, 2012). The construct of race, forms of racism, and the consequences of racism have been studied in great depth. Nevertheless, although there is a growing trend in research examining the unique needs of Black students (Allen et al., 2003; Barker, 2011; Davidson & Foster-Johnson, 2001), few have examined racism and the lived experiences of Black doctoral students specifically. To best support this student population, more research is needed that examines their actual experiences and applies their experiences to intentional policy shifts within institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Very little literature informs our knowledge regarding the experiences of Black mother doctoral students at predominantly White institutions (PWIs) as it relates to race and gender. Researchers have identified that Black women doctoral studies report different experience due to their race and gender (Gardner, 2008; Patton, 2009; Sol©đrzano, Ceja, & Yosso, 2000; Winkle-Wagner, 2009). The experiences of Black mothers and their educational experiences in doctoral programs in higher education at PWIs is often unnoticed. This research explored the lived experiences of Black mothers enrolled in higher education programs at PWIs. Situated in Black feminist thought (Collins, 2009) and a non-deficit approach (Harper, 2010), this study illustrated how the experiences of Black mother doctoral students successfully navigated and persisted through doctoral study. Using semi-structured interviews the author identified three themes that influence the persistence and success of Black mothers in doctoral programs in higher education. The three core themes identified were: 1) Socialization, 2) Development of resiliency and self-worth, and 3) Utilization of familial, personal, and academic supports.
