摘要

Informed by a transformative paradigm, we examined student engagement at a private, research-intensive HBCU by considering the role of social and cultural capital. In doing so, we paid close attention to how undergraduate students navigated and disrupted elitism on campus through an HBCU-based theoretical model. We used interview and focus group data, including 20 undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds and fields of study. We analyzed structural barriers discussed by our participants, including perceptions of legacy, selectivity, and elitism. We provided culturally and racially affirming recommendations for higher education practice tailored to HBCUs.
