Diverse: Issues In Higher Education
Dr. Tryan L. McMickens, associate professor at North Carolina Central University, focuses on inequities in higher education among marginalized students. His research explores racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities and the impact of campus environments on students, faculty, and administrators. McMickens also examines how historically white colleges prepare students to deal with social ills and oppression post-graduation. He pays special attention to the role of historically Black colleges in preparing students for success after higher education, with a focus on mental health among Black men. McMickens aims to explore racial and social justice issues in higher education and share findings to foster more inclusive learning environments.
