Lifting the Veil: The Role of Social Justice College Access Programs in Resisting Racial Discrimination in Schools

Thu, April 11, 2:30 to 4:00pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 103A

Abstract

Similar to prevailing narratives by which Black students experience and respond to larger structures of oppression, we theorize that social justice college access involvement can mitigate Black students’ context-specific repertoires and responses to racial discrimination experiences. Using a qualitative approach consisting of 125 Black student participants of a social justice college access program, findings suggest students are aware of and prepared to confront racial discrimination in schools.
