Public youth resistance movements in 2019 and 2020 exposed the entrenchment of racism, sexism, heteronormativity, and classism across New York City independent schools (NYCIS). In order to support the imminent need for schools to provide effective diversity, inclusion, and equity supports that address broad issues of school climate, relationships, and pedagogy, there is a need to better understand the specific, hyperlocal experiences of Black/African Descendant (BAD) students, who occupy several unique, unexplored spaces in educational research. The following four research questions helped to conceptualize the experiences that support and hinder the academic success and long term well-being of BAD students …

Embracing Conflict And Contradiction As A Path To Awareness, Joann Rintel Abreu
Embracing Conflict And Contradiction As A Path To Awareness, Joann Rintel Abreu
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
The focus of this autoethnographic dissertation is the exploration of habitus and how it consciously and unconsciously influences our perceptions, emotions, values, and actions. I describe this dissertation as an autoethnography to highlight my subjective approach to research and to dispel any claims of objectivity.

In each chapter, I describe several events that led to a greater understanding of my emotional responses and how I adapted …

The second issue is to learn, alongside the question of the quality of school recess, how parents’ work …
