Black Women’s College Outcomes
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-80320-3 (ISBN)
Drawing on a longitudinal study of 10 Black women who entered an elite university in 1995 and graduated in 1999, it draws upon interviews from both their senior year in college and 20 years following, to explore the role of institutional context on college outcomes. Supported by data from campus administrators and publicly available data, it foregrounds new and important implications for understanding Black women’s college experiences and outcomes, the role of institutional context, Black social mobility, and Black middle-class experiences. The book delves into the personal and professional trajectories of these women, highlighting how their experiences at the university shaped their career paths and social mobility. It examines the support systems, challenges, and opportunities they encountered, providing a nuanced understanding of how institutional contexts can influence educational and professional outcomes. By integrating perspectives from campus administrators and leveraging publicly available data, the book offers a comprehensive view of the factors that contribute to the success of Black women in higher education and beyond.
As such, it will be of interest to higher education, sociology, Africana studies, and women and gender studies scholars. The insights presented in this book are crucial for educators, policymakers, and researchers who aim to foster inclusive and supportive environments for Black women in academic and professional settings.
