"It's Like Power to Move": Black Students' Psychosocial Experiences in Black Studies Courses at a Predominantly White Institution
Chapman-Hilliard, Collette; Beasley, Samuel T.
Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, v46 n2 p129-151 Apr 2018
This study examined Black students' experiences in culture-centered courses that focused on the historical and contemporary experiences of Blacks in America and across the African diaspora. Using a qualitative approach, the authors investigated the perceptions of how Black Studies courses shaped the psychosocial experiences and identity development of Black students (N = 24) at a predominantly White institution. Data from semistructured focus group interviews revealed several themes, including psychological empowerment, self-determination, counterspaces, and community perpetuity. The authors suggest ways counselors and educators can support Black students' psychosocial development and provide outreach to diverse student populations.
