Toward Gaining Knowledge of Young Adult Black Males' Perceptions of Political Activism

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / There is a gap in our knowledge and understanding of perceptions of political
activities, including the influence of education policies, by young adult Black
males. There is a gap in our understanding of the formation of perceptions and attitudes.
The purpose of this study is to gain a perspective of the perceptions of young adult Black
male students regarding civic and political activism. By increasing our knowledge of
Black students’ experiences and motivations, in relation to perception development, there
could be lived experience-based pedagogy that encourages Black young adults to engage
politically in a greater proportion. Additionally, such knowledge could provide insight
toward being enabled to effectively react to perceived injustices and intolerant outcomes.
