“…BRN’s advent in education research is a particular kind of “counternarrative” reaction to decades of research that pathologized Black people and Black youth. Often seeking to disrupt deficit frameworks about Black youth or waylay the overemphasis on their academic and life struggles, this research focuses on Black youth savvy, hard work, and determination, despite the odds, in relation to their successful outcomes (Harper, 2015; Kim & Hargrove, 2013). All of this has incubated an environment where “grit” has emerged as one of the more viable solutions to overcoming the obstacles, academic and otherwise, that undergird the gaps between Black and White, and poor and rich youth (Duckworth, Peterson, Matthews, & Kelly, 2007; Love, 2014).…”

Through sustained ethnographic field work that inquired into youth participatory action researchers’ political identity development, I identified a politicized discourse engaged by youth during their early stages of action research that I have termed Black resilience neoliberalism (BRN). This study explicates BRN theory, tracing its connection to policy discourses related to Black youth and schools and exploring the ways its tenets are revealed in Black youth action researchers’ reflections on race/racism, inequality, and social change. I argue that BRN is both a conspicuous and an inconspicuous thread of neoliberal discourse and logic, which hides in plain sight as empowerment; however, it is entangled with the project of hegemony. To that end, destabilizing the legitimization of BRN is crucial to reconstituting empowerment.

“…Examples include surveys or narratives solely focused on discrimination or marginalization. Researchers have described deficit-based approaches as depicting the subject population as inherently underachieved and in need of help, repair, or assistance (Kim & Hargrove, 2013). Similarly, Tuck (2009, p. 143) identified damage-centered research as a "pathologizing approach in which the oppression singularly defines a community.…”

Background: Dominant discourse regarding gender in engineering and engineering education relies on simplistic notions of gender as a rigid binary, which obscures the existence of transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) people and the gender dynamics they experience. Purpose: This paper seeks to address the limits of the dominant gender discourse and research paradigm and propose new paths forward. This article calls researchers to intentionally transform their approach and framing of gender to create gender equity for all. Scope: An examination of existing literature in engineering education is put against prevailing theories of gender and human difference from across academia. The overwhelming majority of literature in the field exists within a reductive gender binary. TGNC students and professionals are largely invisible in engineering education research and theory and this exclusion causes harm to individuals as well as our community as a whole. Such exclusion is not limited to engineering contexts but is found to be a central component of systemic TGNC marginalization in higher education and in the United States. Discussion: We call for a substantive disciplinary shift towards studying the deep complexity of gender informed by, and accountable to, literature on gender theory, queer studies, and feminist research methodology. We propose interventions for engineering education researchers categorized into three levels: 1) Microto recognize gender diversity in engineering education; 2) Meso-to describe and analyze the experiences of TGNC students in research; and 3) Macro-to transform our discipline's conceptualization and theoretical framing of gender.

Brooms (2018) and Yosso (2005) both identified the importance of social and cultural capital for African American men for college completion.…”

The Postsecondary Enrollment of African American Men: Perceptions of Environmental Variables

Higher education has made progress in the enrollment of under-represented minorities, yet very notably, African American men continue to enroll in college at very low rates. The current study explores the factors that lead to the college enrollment of African American men, using the lived experiences of 8 undergraduates at mid-western universities. The study findings are consistent with the emerging theory of Community Expectancy, suggesting that many informal factors play important roles in encouraging the academic performance and ultimately the college enrollment of African American men.
