Cooper, Joseph N.; Newton, Ajhanai
Journal of Negro Education, v90 n1 p71-83 Win 2021
The purpose of this study was to examine the college experiences (academic, athletic, and social) of two groups of Black female college athletes at a Division I historically Black college and /university (HBCU). Utilizing sense of belonging theory, the current study explored how Black female college athletes navigate their experiences and manage their multiple identities (race, gender, athletic status, etc.) at a Division I HBCU. Two focus groups, seven individual interviews, and an eight-item demographic questionnaire were administered to ten participants (n = 10). Key findings highlighted participants' diverse college experiences. Implications for policy and practice are discussed.
