This study analyzes the experiences of 23 high-achieving African American mathematics and engineering college students. Results reveal two main motivations for, and trajectories of, resilience:
- Succeeding to prove racial stereotypes wrong (a fragile mathematics identity), and
- Succeeding to serve as role models for African American learners (a robust mathematics identity).
Movement within and across mathematics identities is operationalized through a conceptual framework, entitled stereotype management. The speaker will be Ebony McGee from Northwestern University.
