The educational experiences of African-American adolescents in a predominantly white suburban school district

Jenkins, Tiffany A.

Abstract Details

2007, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Physical Activity and Educational Services.
This qualitative study was conducted to discover, understand, and describe the educational experiences of African-American females within a predominantly White suburban school district. Attention was given to intra-racial interactions between African-American female students raised in a predominantly White suburb and African-American female students raised in predominantly African-American urban areas. The participants’ perceptions of academic experiences, social experiences, race, and school culture were analyzed, interpreted, and verified for accuracy, allowing for a greater understanding of their lived experiences as African-American adolescent females being educated within a predominantly White suburban setting. Practical applications for educators and parents are also included.
