2. Exploring socio-cultural, familial, school, and community factors that support, enhance and impede academic outcomes for K-12 African American students^[8][9]
3. Examining recruitment and retention issues of students of color in gifted education and college students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics^[10]
4. Exploring social, emotional, and psychological consequences of racial oppression of African American males and other people of color in education, counseling, workplace, and athletics.
