Race, Interest Convergence, and Transfer Outcomes for Black Male Student Athletes

Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to consider the mutual benefits that could accrue for Black male student-athletes and the community colleges they attend if transfer rates to four-year institutions were strengthened. Critical Race Theory, specifically the Interest Convergence tenet, is introduced and used for explanatory sensemaking throughout the chapter.
