Exploring Systems of Oppression and its’ Impact on How We Shape the Narrative of Black Men on College Campuses
December 16, 2016
Presenter: David Jones
The state of our country is shaken by many continuous horrific and racist national events that fail to honor the dignity of black men. As student affairs practitioners, we hold a responsibility, especially on our college campuses, to be aware of the challenges black men encounter and the layers of oppression that creates a system that isn’t designed for black men to succeed. This session will redefine that narrative, highlight black male student success in college and discuss ways in which we as student affairs professionals can engage and explore the complexities, implications, and impact of racism on the experiences of black men in college. Further, this institute will discuss how we can use this understanding to be supportive in the black male college student experience.
