Breaking the Silence: Student Affairs' Role in Black Male Faculty Well-Being at Predominantly White Institutions
Antonio L. Ellis; Phelton C. Moss
New Directions for Student Services, n186 p59-68 2024
In this article, we investigate the nuanced challenges facing Black male faculty members in predominantly White institutions (PWIs) regarding their mental health. Through an exploration of the multifaceted roles and responsibilities of student affairs professionals, we uncover actionable strategies that can foster a supportive and inclusive environment for this affinity group in PWIs. Drawing from historical context, contemporary experiences, and future considerations, our analysis highlights the systemic barriers and cultural dynamics contributing to this crisis. Through an intersectional lens, we explore the unique stressors faced by Black male faculty, including racial discrimination, microaggressions, isolation, and the pressure to perform "diversity work" without adequate institutional support. By shedding light on these issues, we aim to spark critical conversations and advocate for systemic changes that prioritize the mental health and well-being of Black male faculty in PWIs, fostering inclusive and supportive academic environments for all faculty members.
