Although most sexual harassment research has focused on women, men also are targets of sexual harassment, particularly in military settings. Building on the existing literature on women, the present study examines race and rank in the sexual harassment experiences of 1,925 Black and White men in the U.S. military. The results indicated that Black men reported more overall sexual harassment in the past year than White men, and that this relationship was mediated by rank. More frequent sexual harassment was associated with reporting more work role limitations and lower coworker satisfaction. However, these relationships were moderated by race. Specifically, the relationship between more sexual harassment and greater work role limitations was stronger for Black men than White men. In contrast, the relationship between more sexual harassment and lower coworker satisfaction was stronger for White men than Black men. Results are discussed in terms of social and occupational status and work roles for men in the military context.
Based on a case study of two majority-Black public high schools in a highly segregated American school district, the article employs a critical intersectional framework to examine the experiences of ten college-aspiring young Black men as they navigate the college choice process. Findings indicate that working-class Black male students are less likely to have access to college-going resources and social networks than their middle-class peers. However, a wellresourced school that affirms Black identity may increase agency and help crystallize college plans among working-class Black male students. In contrast, the study found that more institutional academic structures constrain agency and channel working-class Black male students towards under-resourced colleges where they are less likely to thrive.
