An Antiracist CBPAR Approach to Honoring Victims of Racial Terror Lynching in Washington County, Arkansas
Standing in the gap
Black women in higher education routinely face and combat intersecting structural inequities to accomplish their goals in their roles as students, staff, administrators, and faculty members. Black women have also consistently found ways to create pathways to support one another in navigating multiple structural inequities in academia to achieve success. In this study, we used duoethnographic methods to explore our lived experiences of formal ment…
Navigating an anti-Black campus climate
In the 1960s, Black student protests of racism through sit-ins, building occupations, and demands for the resignation of university top administrators spurred the creation of ethnic studies and diversity programs on white university campuses in the United States. These efforts did not, unfortunately, dismantle entrenched structural racism. Black student activism continues to confront racial inequities using digitized campaigns on social media pla…
Assessment of a State Tanf Funded IDA Initiative
Individual development accounts (IDAs), wealth-building programs for the working poor, have existed since the late 1980s. Current research suggests that IDA programs benefit families while contributing to local and state economies. This program evaluation assessed the impact of one state Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)-funded IDA initiative. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from four agencies chosen using cluster sa…
An Exploratory Study of African American Men’s Perspectives of Intraracial, Heterosexual Intimate Partner Violence Using a Multisystems Life Course Framework
Objective: Intimate partner violence (IPV) adversely affects the lives of many different groups. We examined the experiences of IPV among African American men and the meaning men gave to such experiences in their communities. Method: Using a multisystems life course perspective, we analyzed qualitative data from a community-based participatory action research project that included 19 middle- to upper-income African American men (ages 24–49) livin…
A Multi-Systems Life Course Perspective of Economic Abuse
Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women slowly moved out of the private sphere and into the public realm in the United States in the early 1970's. While progress has been made regarding psychological, physical, and sexual trauma related to IPV, it has been only in the last decade that attention about IPV has included an examination of the impact of economic abuse (EA). This is disturbing given that EA is one of the eight spokes on the Power…
Reclaiming Their Lives and Breaking Free
Little research has examined the specific healing needs of prostituted African American women. In this qualitative research study, eight African American women who were receiving culturally specific services at an Afrocentric agency participated in a focus group and in-depth semistructured interviews.. The analysis revealed seven categories of experience: (1) a legacy of violence and underreporting, (2) family and self-preservation, (3) kinship s…
