Fostering Leadership Capacity Among Black Male Achievers.Pdf, Jasmine Collins, Cecilia E. Suarez, Cameron Beatty, David Rosch

We employed an anti-deficit achievement framework within this research. Findings suggested that Black men who attended an all-Black Male session made gains similar or greater than each comparison group, even considering elevated capacity levels prior to participating. This study addresses important implications for understanding how engaging with same-race, same-gendered peers in formal …

Lean In Or Opt Out? Career Pathways Of Academic Women, Pamela Eddy, Kelly Ward

Pamela L. Eddy


Sheryl Sandberg’s book Lean In has prompted a range of conversations on campus—among women students who are becoming exposed to notions of discrimination, women faculty who are raising issues of equity in work roles and promotion, and women administrators who are trying to reconcile Sandberg’s advice to lean in with the fact that few women lead college campuses. The premise of Lean In is that greater will power and fortitude can enable women to surmount barriers that have prevented them from ascending to top-level positions.

The DEAL model of critical reflection provided rich qualitative data evaluating teaching approaches and suggested students preferred applied …
