The Measure Of A Man: Conceptualizations Of Masculinity Among High-Achieving African American Male College Students, Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D. Jan 2004

The Measure Of A Man: Conceptualizations Of Masculinity Among High-Achieving African American Male College Students, Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D.

Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D.

This study examines within-group alternative conceptualizations of masculinity among African American men on university campuses. Individual interviews were conducted with 32 high-achieving African American male undergraduates at six predominantly White research universities in the Midwest. Findings indicate that unconventional definitions of masculinity, when coupled with active campus involvement and leadership in minority student organizations, are deemed acceptable by uninvolved undergraduate men and help promote healthy masculine identities for African American male student leaders. Implications and recommendations for university administrators are offered at the end of the article.
