Join us on Feburary 6th at 3:30pm at SO 1019 for Student Success for All: A Call to a Humanizing Pedagogy and Practice.

Dr. Derrick Brooms is the Executive Director of the Black Men's Research Institute and Professor of Africana Studies at Morehouse College, serves as a youth worker, and is an award-winning educator and scholar. His research primarily centers on the lived experiences of Black boys and men, with a particular focus on their pathways to and through college as well as their academic trajectories, engagement on camups, identity development, and persistence; he also examines the collegiate experiences of Black and Latino men.

He is the author of several books, including Being Black, Being Male on Campus: Understanding and Confronting Black Male Collegiate Experiences (2017) and Stakes is High: Trials, Lessons, and Triumphs in Young Black Men's Educational Journeys (2021). He is currently working on a new book project.

This event is sponsored by the Norman J. Radow College of Humanities and Social Sciences' Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice and the Kennesaw State Black Studies Program.
