Black Fathers Rising: A QuantCrit Analysis of Black Fathers’ Paternal Influence on Sons’ Engagement and Sense of School Belonging in High School

Black males' collegiate experiences in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are gaining traction in the research literature. In this work, scholars are utilizing asset-based approaches to examine Black males' experiences in STEM. Asset-based orientations are also being extended to work on, for, and with Black families. Of utmost importance with respect to this article, Black fathers play a significant role in their sons' lives. Thus, considerable attention should be paid to the fatherson dyad by practitioners and researchers. This case study examines ten Black male STEM majors' perspectives about their Black fathers. The findings reveal that these Black males described their Black fathers as role models and STEM champions with regard to their STEM pursuits. Recommendations for practice and future research are discussed to advance father-friendly work and ultimately broaden the participation of Black males in STEM.
