Same Story, Different Places: Examining Cross-Regional Variations in Black Students’ Educational Experiences
Fri, April 13, 12:00 to 1:30pm, Vancouver Convention Centre, Floor: Second Level, East Room 19&20Session Submission Type: Symposium
Abstract
This symposium is a response to the call for contemporary and cross-regional empirical studies that consider how the race-place nexus shapes Black students’ educational access, opportunities, experiences, and outcomes (Morris & Monroe, 2009). Four separate, but interconnected, papers (two from Georgia and two from California) shed much-needed light into understanding Black students’ educational experiences across different geographical, school, social class, and racial contexts. The papers emanate from empirically-based investigations of Black students’ experiences in (1) a predominantly Black suburban school district in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia, (2) public schools in Oakland, California, and (3) elite private schools in the San Francisco Bay Area.
