Abstract
ABSTRAC This QuantCrit analysis considers Black fathers’ influence on their sons’ engagement and sense of belonging in urban intensive and emergent high schools. Canonical correlations show a significant relationship between Black fathers’ paternal influence and their sons’ engagement and sense of belonging in school. We discuss two QuantCrit interpretation strategies to contextualize and recenter race via Black fathers’ experiential knowledge. Within the proper social-cultural context, these results illuminate a unique paternal educational habitus among Black fathers, which focuses on high levels of academic engagement with a family-centric locus of influence on their sons’ sense of belonging.
期刊介绍:
Equity & Excellence in Education publishes articles based on scholarly research utilizing qualitative or quantitative methods, as well as essays that describe and assess practical efforts to achieve educational equity and are contextualized within an appropriate literature review. We consider manuscripts on a range of topics related to equity, equality and social justice in K-12 or postsecondary schooling, and that focus upon social justice issues in school systems, individual schools, classrooms, and/or the social justice factors that contribute to inequality in learning for students from diverse social group backgrounds. There have been and will continue to be many social justice efforts to transform educational systems as well as interpersonal interactions at all levels of schooling.
