White Faculty at HBCUs: Perceptions of Racial Climate

By Safiya D. Hoskins

In Dr. SaFiya D. Hoskins' study, 'White Faculty at HBCUs: Perceptions of Racial Climate, ' white faculty members shared their experiences in making sense of their perceptions of Historically Black College and University (HBCU) campuses. As such, participants discussed their perceptions of diversity, campus involvement, collegial and faculty-student interactions. In addition, situations they encountered or perceived as discrimination or racial conflict were discussed. Through the participants' shared experiences, both positive and negative, themes emerged relative to their perceptions of racial climate. This study gives voice to a population that is absent from the literature on faculty at HBCUs. Furthermore, this study can inform policy and practice about enhancing racial climate for faculty at HBCUs and Historically White Institutions (HWIs). -Ubiquitous Press
