Description:
|
In recent times, the state- and institution-sanctioned violence against Black people has gain increase media attention. Still, so little is known about Black women’s experiences with racial trauma and assault because the challenges facing Black people and Black men are understood by institutional leaders and the general public as one in the same. This project aims to examine the racial bias/violence targeting Black undergraduate women at American colleges and universities. Collaborators on this project will assist in the collection/analysis of media coverage and institutional responses of the documented cases of racial bias/violence targeting Black undergraduate women. Goals of this project are to generate research findings that illuminate the intersectional forms of oppression that Black undergraduate women experience and assist institutional leaders to develop intersectional interventions that pertain directly to the well-being of Black undergraduate women. This research project is central to the research interests/agenda of the faculty mentor. As such, undergraduate students interested in this project will be well supported in this research endeavor by the faculty mentor and their graduate research assistant, a PhD student in the Department of Educational Administration and Human Resource Development
