Student Unrest

Student unrest was rampant on the Indian, campuses in the sixties and several studies have been published which probe into the socio-economic background of the student leaders, attitudes and value patterns among students, and leadership styles. Reviewing three works on this subject, Dr. Mehta stresses that student activism in developing countries stems from economic difficulties and that it indicates a desire to reform the educational system to bring it in line with socio-economic aspirations.

And Function

In its present form and function, the socio-political institution of American education does not properly serve citizens of African descent. What is now recognized as higher education geared towards meeting the special needs of black students is commonly labeled Black Studies. It is submitted here that Black Studies programs, in the main, are nothing more than reactions to the oppression that obtains within the institutional system of higher education. Unquestionably, the majority of these programs differ little in concept or approach from academic programs in the Euro-American tradition.

Historically White Institutions

This essay outlines how Black placemaking, a sociological framework used to study Black residents in urban contexts, might be used to study Black students’ experiences at historically White institutions (HWIs) of higher education. Black placemaking engages with the intersection of Blackness, place, structure, and agency. The author argues that this framework has the potential to more expansively study Black students’ lives, experiences, and mechanisms of engagement without discounting realities of oppression. Drawing from research on Black students attending HWIs and data from an ethnography conducted by the author, this essay conceptualizes a Black placemaking approach for higher education.
