Abstract

The goal of this research is to explore the professional experiences of black faculty members within agricultural education departments at Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs), and to compare those experiences to the learning theory called communities of practice (COPs). This research study uses narrative inquiry to achieve a thematic analysis of the experiences of black faculty members within agricultural education that was used for the comparison. The study aims to answer the following research questions: (1) How do black faculty members within agricultural education departments experience communities of practice at Predominantly White Institutions? (2) In what ways, do black faculty members perceive their professional relations within agricultural education departments at Predominantly White Institutions?
