For this episode of Contemporary Perspectives on Black Homeschooling, Dr. Khadijah Z. Ali-Coleman of Black Family Homeschool Educators and Scholars (BFHES) interviews Matthew Rankin, a fifth-year graduate student in the Department of Sociology at Emory University. He received his MA from Emory University, with academic concentrations in the areas of social inequality and social psychology. His research interests center on the Sociology of Education, symbolic boundary drawing, and racial in-group and out-group dynamics. Currently, Matthew is performing data collection and analysis for his dissertation, entitled For Our Children: How Black Parents Approach Homeschooling. This project examines how gender informs black homeschooling, focusing intently on parental motivations (i.e., for choosing to homeschool), curricular choices (i.e., for materials and thematic content), and instruction (i.e., teaching methods), and how these factors shape learning experiences for black girls vis-à-vis black boys. To learn more about the study he mentions during this interview, email him at matthew.rankin@emory.edu.
