Hunter Library and the Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity Programs invite you join us on February 25th at 11:00 am via Zoom for a discussion with Dr. Tasha Alston on Challenging the Narrative: Black Fathers’ Involvement in Education. The literature tells us that parental involvement affects academic achievement. However, much of the literature on parental involvement focuses on the involvement of mothers with limited information about the involvement of fathers, especially African American fathers. Dr. Alston will focus on the contributions that African American fathers make in the lives of their children and families, challenges the master deficient narrative, and humanizes African American fathers.
