The Unique Challenges And Experiences Of African¬-American Women Academicians At Predominantly White Institutions, Gary K. Perry

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)

This session addresses the unique challenges of African-American women academicians at predominantly white institutions. After assessing scholarly literature in this area, most research has and continues, to ignore the interrelationship between race, class and gender. This paper builds on existing literature by offering a discourse that addresses various challenges facing these women.

Learning Across Cultures: How Minority Students Construct Identities That Foster Academic Success, Maryjo Benton Lee

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)

In China, successful minority students are those who construct “achievement-oriented selves." Through interaction with significant others, these students develop perspectives of themselves as "successes." This, in turn, makes academic achievement possible. The "identity work" of Chinese ethnic students can serve as a model for those involved with minority education in the U.S.

Multiple Perspectives On A Failed Attempt At Diversity, Fay Akindes, Michele Gee Ph.D., Farida Khan, Mary Kay Schleiter Ph.D.

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)

The Recruitment And Retention Of Students Of Color At Private Institutions, Anthony Cortese

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)

This session presents a longitudinal study of recruitment and retention of students of color at a predominantly white university in the American Southwest. The institution was able to increase minority student enrollment 14 percent in fewer than ten years. This was accomplished through the careful development, implementation and evaluation of a policy designed to recruit and retain minority students. The specifics of this policy and how it may be used as a model for other predominantly white institutions are discussed.

Plantation Mythology: Black Women In Academia, S. Malone-Hawkins Ph.D., Erma J. Lawson Ph.D.

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)

This article presents the process and findings of a study to establish the relativity of plantation mythology to the institution of higher learning. The method employed is a comparative personal history of a twenty-year period using an expert panel approach. A ten person expert panel of women of color was identified to generate a depiction of the conterminous experiences on the plantation. While we will not use a specific time frame, we will, however, analyze time and place similarities.

A Case Study: Contemporary Forms Of Bias And "Prejudice" And How It Negatively Impacts Scholars Of Color Within The Academy, E. Kelly Sanford Ph.D.

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)

The session presents a Case Study to identify contemporary forms of bias that scholars of color inevitably experience from the classroom discourse to the tenure process. While “academic freedom” and the notion of “ diversity” are apparent politically correct ideals in theory, the reality is different on the average for scholars of color.

A Case Study: Contemporary Forms Of Bias And "Prejudice" And How It Negatively Impacts Scholars Of Color Within The Academy, Elizabeth J. Achieng Siwo-Okundi B.A.

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)

The session presents a Case Study to identify contemporary forms of bias that scholars of color inevitably experience from the classroom discourse to the tenure process. While “academic freedom” and the notion of “ diversity” are apparent politically correct ideals in theory, the reality is different on the average for scholars of color.

Philly Hoop Dreams: The Social Organization Of Black Basketball In Philadelphia, Scott N. Brooks

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)

A study of basketball in Philadelphia suggests that players are made, not born and that success is not based solely upon the efforts of an individual. Rather, success is heavily influenced by the operations of a local social network.

In Pursuit Of Brain Compatible Intimate Relationships, Saleef Kafajouffee Ph.D.

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)

This session comprises a highly interactive and creative format designed to provide a maximum of information and conceptual integration regarding human relationships. The presentation style embodies creativity and scholarly intent that leads the audience through brain and contextual processes that severely limit or lovingly spiritually enhance male/female relationships.

The Importance Of Affirmative Action In The 21st Century: Building Transformational Alliances With Constituencies Across The Power Structure For Scholars, Students And Staff Of Color At Predominantly European American Institutions., E. Kelly Sanford Ph.D., Laverne Turner Walker

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)

The purpose of this session is to reject the notion that proactive Affirmative Action strategic plans are no longer needed at predominantly European American Institutions. Data reveal an inverse relationship between creating successful strategic plans for inclusion and negative reactions from the power structure.

So You Think You Hired An American Indian, David Cornsilk, Dean Flechs, Mary Lee Johns, Helen Long Soldier

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)

This session will focus on the importance of ethnic identity as it pertains to American Indians. Most predominantly white institutions of higher education do not verify the self¬reported ethnicity of faculty, staff or students. Most tribally controlled institutions require documentation through enrollment/other proof How do universities verify Indian identity?

Hip-Hop/Scotch: "Sounding Francophone" In French And United States Cultures, Francesca Sautman

Publications and Research

This essay adresses the relationship between "being/speaking Francophone" and forms of ethnic-cultural dissent in France and the U.S. In both countries, terms such as Francophone and Francophonie are often captured by specific political agendas and practicies. What it means to be "Francophone" involves complex interfacings between various langages, including English and French, between competing discursive claims made on the basis of linguistic home and the particular forms of cultural and linguistic hybridity, such as French hip-hop culture and world music.
