“I Have To Say That The Struggle Was On The Wrong Focus”: Examining Past Transgressions To Reposition Our Futures For Black Education, Noah Nelson
Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"
Brown v. Board of Education (1954) opened new possibilities for Black education, but what many perceived as a victory for racial equality led to increased violence against Black communities. In response, Black communities pushed to establish independent educational institutions and programs that better reflected their cultural values, needs, and aspirations. These efforts embodied the dreams of Black educators who envisioned an education system rooted in community empowerment, anticolonial values, and self-determination. Juanita Wade, a Boston teacher and community organizer, exemplifies this transformative shift. In this track, I analyze Wade ’ s archival materials to document her critical contributions to Black …

(Re)Storying Our Education: Black School Counselors Engaging And Cultivating Black Joy And Resistance In P–12 Schooling, Renae D. Mayes, Riley Drake, Adrianne C. Robertson, Carla B. Cheatham, Betsy M. Perez
Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"
With the rise of national anti-DEI and anti-CRT legislation, public school continues to be unsafe for Black youth, their families, and Black educators. Yet Black people still find themselves in P–12 schools working to create fugitive spaces that resist the carceral nature of schooling while promoting abolitionist principles of healing, community, and joy. Toward this end, the authors interviewed 10 Black school counselors to understand their role in creating these spaces of Black joy and resistance. Findings from this study will help to expand the approaches Black counselors take in creating Black joy and resistance across educational spaces.
Black Queer Youths’ Dreams Of Safer And Equitable Schools, Lashanda Harbin
Black Queer Youths’ Dreams Of Safer And Equitable Schools, Lashanda Harbin
Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"
This track centers the concept of freedom dreaming to uplift the voices of Black queer youth to (1) explore what they think safe schooling should look like in the future, and (2) understand how they think those visions can come true. In focus groups, participants dreamed of futures where all Black queer youth are protected if harm occurs, feel well-represented in K–12 schools, and have adequate access to resources like mental health support and creative outlets. Participants believed these dreams could come true partly through collaboration between schools and Black and Black queer community organizations. Participants ’ dreams of safer …
Pioneering Pedagogy And Curriculum For A Global Black Consciousness: An Interview With Dr. Kassie Freeman, D. Caleb Smith
Pioneering Pedagogy And Curriculum For A Global Black Consciousness: An Interview With Dr. Kassie Freeman, D. Caleb Smith
Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"
In 2020, the College Board introduced the AP African Diaspora seminar, the first advanced placement high school curriculum to feature an Africa topic or theme. The seminar proved to be groundbreaking and attractive as it has spread to more than 500 schools within the United States and ten institutions abroad. Much of the curriculum ’ s early success is indebted to the leadership from Dr. Kassie Freeman of Columbia University ’ s Teachers College. A nationally recognized leader in the fields of comparative and international education, Freeman began developing the idea for the AP African Diaspora seminar shortly after founding …
The Community University Of Social Work: The Creation Of An Alternative Educational Space In Kenya, Daniel Mango
The Community University Of Social Work: The Creation Of An Alternative Educational Space In Kenya, Daniel Mango
Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"
Colonization has scarred African social work, especially in Nairobi, Kenya, where neoliberal politics has turned a profession dedicated to advancing social justice into an arm of the state. State education for social work is highly restrictive; new social workers do not learn about the impact of racism and capitalism on mental health. Instead, they are trained to serve the government’ s interests. Thus, I conceived an alternative fugitive higher education community to educate and train social workers through an antiracist and decolonized curriculum. Grounded in African education theory, this community-based collaboration of future social workers is a revolutionary act of …
Huggins High School: Dreaming Of Black Educational Futures, Renée Wilmot
Huggins High School: Dreaming Of Black Educational Futures, Renée Wilmot
Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"
Two parallel arcs tell the story of Ericka Huggins High School’s present and history. In present-day 2030, the reader follows a day in the life of Daisia, an 11th grader at Huggins, as she negotiates themes around love and community. The story flashes back to 2026, when six Gen-Zers start a coalition. They dream up a high school for the Black youth in their midsize city, Lafayette. Over the course of eight months, they collaborate to apply for a new seed grant, funded by the Harris administration, that supports educators of color to create innovative high school equivalency programs in …
Prison Education And Abolitionist Praxis: Insights And Reflections From Inside-Out Participants, Ninah J. Jackson, Nyako Pippen, Vanessa Massaro
Prison Education And Abolitionist Praxis: Insights And Reflections From Inside-Out Participants, Ninah J. Jackson, Nyako Pippen, Vanessa Massaro
Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"
This track draws on our experience in an Inside-Out course taught at a state correctional institution in Pennsylvania. As an outside student, inside student, and instructor in our learning community, we consider the abolitionist potential of classes taught behind prison walls. Does it necessarily perpetuate the prison industrial complex, or can it render boundaries porous? We take an autoethnographic approach to our experiences, frustrations, challenges, and triumphs, considering if, and under what conditions, such a program can promote abolition. Based on our reflection, we see the potential to intentionally create liberatory classroom spaces on a small scale. We offer some …
Sweat The Technique: Revelations On Navigating Hostile Streets Of Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Charles E. Becknell Jr.
Sweat The Technique: Revelations On Navigating Hostile Streets Of Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Charles E. Becknell Jr.
Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"
Navigating the challenges of Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs) as a Black professor with Latinx roots, I critique the systemic anti-Blackness embedded within these spaces. Despite their mission to serve marginalized communities, HSIs often privilege white and non-Black Latinx interests, perpetuating exclusionary dynamics. Using frameworks like David Stovall’s abolitionist agenda and Robin D. G. Kelley’s Freedom Dreams, I employ rescripting—a radical reimagining of academic norms—through Africana studies, hip-hop culture, and counterstorytelling. This approach challenges oppressive structures, advocating for liberation-centered education that amplifies Black voices. Strategies such as rest as resistance, collective care, and re-membering ancestral knowledge are explored as tools to transform …
We Have Fifty-Eleven Problems, Of Course, Racism Is One: Exploring The Navigation Of A Pwi, Aminah Crawford, Virginia Redwine Johnson, Micayla Gooden
We Have Fifty-Eleven Problems, Of Course, Racism Is One: Exploring The Navigation Of A Pwi, Aminah Crawford, Virginia Redwine Johnson, Micayla Gooden
Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"
This study explored the experiences of three Black women navigating dual roles as graduate students and instructors at a predominantly white institution (PWI). Their narratives revealed persistent challenges like implicit bias, racism, microaggressions, and limited opportunities, reflecting broader systemic issues that impact Black students in similar environments. Despite these adversities, the women demonstrated notable resilience. The findings emphasize the importance of creating policies and practices that foster inclusivity and support for marginalized communities within academic settings. By highlighting both personal and systemic barriers, this research contributes to understanding the complexities of Black women’s experiences at PWIs.
Breaking The Chains: Tracking Through The Lens Of Black Feminist Thought, Kristian Edosomwan, Aminah Crawford
Breaking The Chains: Tracking Through The Lens Of Black Feminist Thought, Kristian Edosomwan, Aminah Crawford
Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"
Academic tracking segregates students based on perceived ability. Because of the nation’s exclusionary history, Black students are often unfairly judged and disproportionately placed in lower tracks. By viewing academic tracking through Patricia Hill Collins’s concept of the “ matrix of domination, ” this study brings attention to normalized deep-seated biases and structural discriminatory practices. Yet amidst this complex web of oppression is the potential for education to be a political weapon that equips students to oppose and disrupt hegemonic state-sanctioned violence. This study makes the case that tracking Black girls is oppressive by drawing on Black feminist thought, research literature, …
Thinking Beyond The University: Toward A Black Abolitionist Pedagogy, Re’Nyqua Farrington
Thinking Beyond The University: Toward A Black Abolitionist Pedagogy, Re’Nyqua Farrington
Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"
This track centers the spaces I co-create that attend to my overall well-being as a Black woman educator making demands for Black student well-being and educational justice. Situated within higher education, this study accounts for the current realities of anti-Blackness within academia while creating spaces that support Black students ’ well-being. It builds on literature that advances abolitionist and fugitive praxes and emphasizes radical self-care for Black women in academia. This research uses autoethnography and concepts from Black critical theory, school abolition, and engaged pedagogy. The findings highlight one model of a Black abolitionist pedagogy.
Toward A Black-Brilliance Praxis Of (Re)Centering And (Re)Imagining Blackness In Education, Kiese Vita
Toward A Black-Brilliance Praxis Of (Re)Centering And (Re)Imagining Blackness In Education, Kiese Vita
Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"
Missing within educational research on theory, pedagogy, and teaching are unifying frameworks created by Black people for Black people that cohesively combine applicable ways to explicitly (re)center Black people's historical, educational, ideological, cultural, and spiritual ways of being. Paralleling Dumas and ross’s (2016) theorized Black critical theory (BlackCrit) in education, I endarken (Dillard, 2006) and carry on the tradition to address the specificity of antiblackness and better understand the anti-Black schooling experiences of Black scholars by theorizing a Black-Brilliance Praxis framework. This framework serves as a pedagogical, methodological, and spiritual approach for how Black educators specifically, and …
Building On Uncle Louis’ Lessons: A Recovering Academic’S Reflections On Death[And Life], Tiffani Marie
Building On Uncle Louis’ Lessons: A Recovering Academic’S Reflections On Death[And Life], Tiffani Marie
Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"
In this ceremony (offering), I reflect on the life lessons of my uncle, Louis Williams, who taught me about labor, resilience, and the beauty of letting go. From the patience needed to build a home to the wisdom of choosing the right tools, his lessons reach beyond practicality—they offer a framework for life, learning, and especially, death. As a recovering academic and death doula, I examine how we can mourn dead structures and ways of being, like schooling, to truly honor our sacredness. Through these reflections, I explore what it means to build toward remembered futures.

Mycelium, Lotus Flowers, And The Future We Gon’ Create: The Cypher, David Stovall Ph.D., Simple Ant, Dre Carter, Eghosa Obaizamomwan-Hamilton, T. Gertrude Jenkins
Black Educology Mixtape "Journal"
In this track, we, the producers, cypher with Dr. David Stovall, connecting ecology to the current times through the lenses of abolition and fugitivity. We lay the groundwork for volume three and think through how to equip ourselves to disrupt old ways of thinking about education to collectively create futures in which Black communities can access liberation. By linking the historical impacts of desegregation, acts of subversion, and methods of refusal, Dr. David Stovall and the producers invite readers to commune with our stories, knowings, and musings.

Faculty Spotlight With Prof. Ferretti: Q&A On Critical Librarianship, Pearl Kim
School of Information Student Research Journal
In an interview with the Student Research Journal (SRJ), Prof. Jennifer Ferretti discusses the principles and impact of critical librarianship—an approach grounded in critical theory that interrogates power and inequity within libraries and archives. Drawing on her experience as a practitioner, educator, and student, she reflects on the role of critical theory in shaping library pedagogy, professional ethics, and institutional practices. Prof. Ferretti, an artist and information professional, formerly taught a course called “Building a Critical Culture: Information Ethics, Diverse Communities, and Critical Librarianship” at San Jose State University’s iSchool. She is currently the Documentation and Archives Director at the …

Living In Paradise? Cameroonian Women In The American Diaspora, Joseph Takougang
Living In Paradise? Cameroonian Women In The American Diaspora, Joseph Takougang
Journal of African Policy Studies
For decades after independence, African migration was a phenomenon that could be attributed to a patriarchal culture that encouraged male domination. Later, that traditional mindset was reinforced by a colonial system that often marginalized the role of women in many African societies. Indeed, because young men were more likely to be educated than their female counterparts under the colonial system, they were advantaged after independence to attend institutions of higher learning abroad when it became necessary to train young Africans to occupy important government and other decision-making positions in the newly independent states. Recently, however, women have become important players, …
Socioeconomic Status Of Parents And Provision Of Education In The Context Of The Covid-19 Pandemic In Cameroon: The Case Of The Southwest Region, Sophie Edume Etomes, Fonkeng Epah George
Socioeconomic Status Of Parents And Provision Of Education In The Context Of The Covid-19 Pandemic In Cameroon: The Case Of The Southwest Region, Sophie Edume Etomes, Fonkeng Epah George
Journal of African Policy Studies
This study examines the effect of the socioeconomic status of parents on the provision of education during the COVID-19 lockdown in Cameroon. Three major objectives guided this study, which examines the effects of parents’ educational level and level of income on the provision of education and how the emergency response strategy adopted by the government affected the provision of quality education for all. A case study research design was used, and the Southwest Region was chosen as the study site. Forty parents from rural and urban areas within the region were selected while twelve divisional delegates were sampled for the …
Transformation Of Artisanal Small-Scale Mining (Asm) In Ghana: From Pre-Colonial To The Modern Era, Emmanuel Ababio Ofosu-Mensah
Transformation Of Artisanal Small-Scale Mining (Asm) In Ghana: From Pre-Colonial To The Modern Era, Emmanuel Ababio Ofosu-Mensah
Journal of African Policy Studies
Literature abounds on the nature and impact of gold mining activities in Ghana, but limited efforts have so far been directed at exploring a concise historical account of the transformation of artisanal small-scale gold mining in Ghana from the pre-colonial era to the present. Against this background, this article traces the history of gold mining policies and regulations that have brought about the transformation of the artisanal small-scale mining sector in Ghana. Drawing on archival documents, interviews, newspaper reports, and a review of secondary materials, this study reveals that, unlike the situation in the pre-colonial era, artisanal mining from the …
The Women’S Emancipation Struggle In Senegal During The 1980s And 1990s: The Case Of The “Yewwu-Yewwi” Movement, Aliou Ly
Journal of African Policy Studies
Senegalese women’s socio-cultural and economic status has always been shaped by local customs, religion, and gender structures. During the colonial period, against the backdrop of the opportunity to have a Western education, economic changes and extremely rapid urbanization encouraged Senegalese women to join the political arena in supporting various male political leaders. This trend continued during the post-colonial period, leading to the election of female parliamentarians and women holding high governmental positions in the 1960s and 1970s. The 1980s saw the creation of more vocal and visible women’s organizations such as the Yewwu-Yewwi “Pour la Liberation des Femmes” movement of …

Healthcare Policy And Administration In Nigeria: A Critical Analysis, Robert A. Dibie
Healthcare Policy And Administration In Nigeria: A Critical Analysis, Robert A. Dibie
Journal of African Policy Studies
This paper examines the perception of the effectiveness of the healthcare system in Nigeria by citizens and residents of the country. It argues that the Nigerian government needs to adopt a more pragmatic healthcare policy, one that could be more effectively implemented. Unlike the old practice of the Ministry of Health, an innovative approach to healthcare delivery should involve benchmarks, strategic doing, and coordination of priorities, as well as partnerships with various stakeholders from the private sector, including nongovernmental organizations and foreign investors. The paper uses quantitative and qualitative data derived from questionnaire surveys and interviews administered to 3,202 Nigerian …
Africa And Us Foreign Direct Investments In The 21st Century: The Contours Of Global Engagement, Moses K. Tesi
Africa And Us Foreign Direct Investments In The 21st Century: The Contours Of Global Engagement, Moses K. Tesi
Journal of African Policy Studies
The focus of this article is to analyze the state of US private investments in Africa, the nature, pattern, and trend of such investments, and various ideas about factors that have either inhibited or accelerated the growth of investment flows to countries in the region. US private investments in Africa were inconsequential from the 1960s to 1990s, but in the 2000s, significant efforts were made by the US government to encourage, promote, and support private US firms to invest in Africa, and efforts were also made by African governments to increase US private investments on the continent. My research shows …
The Rural Development Politics Under Prime Minister K.A. Busia Of Ghana, 1969-1972, Kwame Adum-Kyeremeh
The Rural Development Politics Under Prime Minister K.A. Busia Of Ghana, 1969-1972, Kwame Adum-Kyeremeh
Journal of African Policy Studies
This article discusses rural development under the Second Republican government of Ghana. While not directly engaging with the claims of Busia’s unrivalled rural development agenda, this article provides some perspectives as to why the assertions of unqualified success remain popular. Drawing on newspapers and published sources, it discusses the Busia government’s rural development programme and accomplishments, and finds that plans to develop rural Ghana date to several years before the Busia government. By adopting rural development as its flagship programme, Busia directed the government and citizens’ attention towards rapid rural development in the early 1970s. Widespread media publicity has helped …
Women And The Policy Process: Minimum Marriageable Age Policy Adoption In Nigeria, Ene Ekpebe
Women And The Policy Process: Minimum Marriageable Age Policy Adoption In Nigeria, Ene Ekpebe
Journal of African Policy Studies
Nigeria has the eleventh highest incidence of early marriage – marriage before the age of 18 – in the world. This is problematic because early marriage has been shown to have significant health and socioeconomic disadvantages for girls. In 2003, the Child Rights Act (CRA) was adopted by the federal government of Nigeria. One of its provisions was a prohibition of early marriage. As of 2022, 25 of Nigeria’s 36 states had adopted the CRA. However, only 23 have adopted its minimum marriageable age provision without exception. This paper discusses the factors affecting the adoption of the CRA’s minimum marriageable …

A Raced Theology Of The Human Person: An Expanded Theological Anthropology, Cary W. Dabney
A Raced Theology Of The Human Person: An Expanded Theological Anthropology, Cary W. Dabney
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation focuses on race as a critical, yet largely unaddressed, topic in Catholic theological anthropology. In Catholic colleges and universities that are recognized as members of the Cardinal Newman Society, theological concerns about race are deemed irrelevant for theological education in the faith and are altogether absent from the theology of the human person. As a result, this collection of institutions treats race as a specialty within pastoral theology, one that is significant to groups, but not a part of the fundamental theology of the human person. This ‘un-raced’ theological anthropology results in the institution’s inability to respond effectively …
