Dissertation
African American Women in the Academy: Meaningful Pathways to Productive Careers
2023
Overview
African American female professors hold prominent, influential roles inside and outside university settings. In universities, professors are impactful mentors and role models influencing students' academic dispositions and outcomes (Zinn & Walker, 2018; Hine & Thompson, 1998). In communities, they provide meaningful scholarship that influences academic, workplace, and extracurricular equity and advancement opportunities (Njoku & Patton, 2017; Evans, 2016; Cooper, 2006). The current study investigates the individual aptitude, school/instruction, and environmental factors influencing African American females' life-span academic talent development. A mixed-method research approach, including a structured interview protocol and online survey, is used to investigate study participants' early to professional year development. Findings showed that tenure and tenure-track professors result from the various opportunities, supports, and resources aiding their academic talent development. Additionally, findings showed the essential role family members/caregivers, mentors, quality schools, and instruction play in developing their academic talent. Therefore, parents/caregivers, educators, and policymakers should provide equitable early access to conducive learning environments emphasizing academic talent development across individuals’ early academic, college, and professional years.
