The Intersect of Race and Gender: Paternal Messages and Approaches to Gendered-Racial Microaggressions with their African American Daughters

Ethnic Racial Socialization (ERS) is a specific form of socialization that African-American parents use to respond to culturally specific challenges (James, Coard, Fine & Rudy, 2018). A large component of expanding the ERS process requires including Gendered Racial Socialization (GRS) dimensions by exploring gendered racial micro aggressions and discerning differences. Additionally, it is important to note that a thorough review of the ERS literature confirmed the lack of empirical research on ERS and paternal figures (Priest et al., 2016). As such, this pilot study, is an initial investigation to explore ways in which African American fathers are socializing their daughters to address gendered racial microaggressions. Through in-depth semi-structured interviews, results will include messages that are transmitted, modes of transmission and concerns pertaining to gendered racial microaggressions their daughters will experience. By shedding light on this construct, African-American fathers could be equipped with better effective ERS practices geared at the varied experiences their African American daughters endure.
