Did Ah Ask You For Woik?: The Black Student, The Concept Of “Career" & Self-Entrepreneurship: Which Road?, Matthew C. Stelly, Michael Payne, Cynthia Jackson

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 7th Annual National Conference (2002)

For some time now, four year institutions have been circulating the myth that education equals a job upon graduation. Along with this myth, the university system makes it appear as if this equation works across the board, for minority graduates as well as majority group members. A third prong of the falsehood is that a job or a career is the ultimate goal. Very little mention is ever made of self-sufficiency or entrepreneurship. In this paper, we present a community-based model of economic development that revolves around minority students starting their own businesses rather than opting for graduation and then …

The Community College As A "Liberation Laboratory:" Toward New Visions, Values And Vigor, Matthew C. Stelly, Michael Payne, Cynthia Jackson

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 7th Annual National Conference (2002)

The lackluster manner in which the American high school is teaching students, combined with selective admission programs at a number of post-secondary institutions, combine to give the majority of American students an important option: the community college. Furthermore, the rising wave of conservatism and right wing ideology can best be countered if these two-year institutions became "liberation laboratories," and emphasized the humanities and social sciences, with emphasis on critical reading, critical writing and critical thinking, This paper outlines how such an emphasis, pedagogy and curriculum could be established at the nation's two-year institutions.

The Abcs Of Tenure: What All African-American Faculty Should Know, Sharon E. Moore Ph.D.

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 7th Annual National Conference (2002)

African-American faculty are extremely valuable contributors to their respective areas. They bring direct knowledge of the strengths and needs of their communities and serve as role models to aspiring students. Unfortunately some African-American faculty are not successful at getting promotion and or tenure in part because of a lack of mentors and or a lack of clarity regarding tenure criteria. This paper focuses on four issues that are relevant to the tenure process, namely, politics, the publication process, developing a research agenda and submission of the tenure "package".

Obstacles To Inter-Racial Understanding: Some Clinical Implications For Mental Health Practitioners In Predominantly White Institutions, Jenina S. Lepard Lcsw, Ncpsya

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 7th Annual National Conference (2002)

in the context of predominantly white institutions. In this paper concepts such as projection, projective identification, splitting, scapegoating, superiority and denial will be employed to illustrate why racial prejudice is a deeply-rooted collective psychological disorder that affects even educated mental health practitioners. Clinicians have an ethical responsibility to demonstrate cultural sensitivity and empathy when working with minority clients, colleagues, staff and students, to examine and root out their own prejudices, and to encourage others to do the same.
