Dillard, Cynthia B. – Educational Studies: Journal of the American Educational Studies Association, 2016
In this case study of a young Black woman educator from the southern United States, I examine how her engagements with Africa and African knowledges, culture and womanhood in Ghana, West Africa substantively transformed her selfhood and her ability to respond in cultural relevant and accurate ways in her teaching of Black children.

Edwards, Kirsten T. – Curriculum Inquiry, 2020
While university-based study abroad programs have become a core component of multicultural education, I argue that in many ways the dominant model of study abroad is rooted in a white masculinist episteme predicated on anthropological consumption of the "Other" without, and largely opposed to, meaningful examinations of the self. The…

Grey, ThedaMarie Gibbs; Williams-Farrier, Bonnie J. – Journal of Literacy Research, 2017
Through this piece, we draw upon critical race theory and Collins's Afrocentric feminist epistemology to highlight the importance of storytelling as a knowledge validation system in Black women's language. We illuminate and analyze a dialogic performance of two Black female literacy scholars in a coffee house "sipping tea," sharing…

Gulson, Kalervo N.; Webb, P. Taylor – Education Inquiry, 2013
In this paper we contend neo-liberal education policy which supports the creation of schooling choices in public education systems is reshaping, conflating and branding ethnicity. We make these points in reference to school choice in Toronto, Canada, and the establishment of an Africentric ethno-centric school. We argue that one of the registers…

Lee, Jasmine; Green, Qiana – Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad, 2016
This research adds to the dearth of literature examining the experiences of Black students who study abroad. Additionally, this project extends the literature on the influence of diasporic travel on US Black undergraduate students. Because study abroad has positive benefits for student learning and development (Brux & Fry, 2010), targeted…

Levine-Rasky, Cynthia – Race, Ethnicity and Education, 2014
In September 2009, the Toronto District School Board opened a publicly funded Africentric alternative school that today serves a population of about 135 students.

Brookfield, Stephen – International Journal of Adult Vocational Education and Technology, 2014
Adult education scholarship has been racialized through the lens of Eurocentric theory and research. Theoretical paradigms such as Africentrism struggle to gain academic legitimacy as discourses of transformative learning, critical thinking and self-direction--all grounded in the European Enlightenment tradition of the individual pursuit of…

Findings from a 1.5 year study of black adolescent mathematics students attending an African-centered school in the US are used to highlight the benefits of separate schooling for this population of students.

Ethnic socialization and racial socialization were examined as discrete concepts using a semistructured interview to assess message content for each form of socialization.
