    Black doctoral women: Exploring barriers and facilitators of success in graduate education
    Patterson-Stephens, Shawna; Lane, Tonisha B.; Vital, Louise Michelle (2017-05-01)
    The purpose of this phenomenological study was to expand upon extant research and uncover trends observed among Black women who are in pursuit of – or have recently attained – their doctoral degrees within the United States. Exploring the voices of seven women, findings revealed three primary themes: (1) socialization experiences, (2) student success, and (3) challenges. Implications for students, administrators, and faculty are provided.
