About the Book

This book explores the role and experience of African American women scholars and educators in the field of human, family, and consumer sciences. Its five sections cover careers in education, the role of historically Black colleges and universities, opportunities and challenges brought about by the internationalization of the field, opportunities for new careers paths in the human sciences, and the current and future role of technology. The contributors come from a variety of backgrounds with experiences in research, teaching, outreach, and service. Taken together, the essays capture the vitality and diversity of knowledge that has, over time, assisted in transforming the field.

Review :
This book is powerful and a must-read for human sciences professionals and beyond. It captures diverse perspectives and expands the untold knowledge that professionals are looking for. This book is a wonderful complement to the earlier book, African American Women: Contributions to the Human Sciences. To understand the profession today and its future, understanding its historical and current challenges and opportunities, barriers and achievements of professionals of color are important perspectives previously untold. Interesting and timely documentation of African American women’s experiences and contributions to the Human Sciences Profession as they faced many challenges in the workplace. They are role models for future generations of women. A much-deserved tribute to HBCUs that prepared generations of students for careers in the Human Sciences Profession as teachers, researchers, administrators, and organizational leaders. Out of the shadows and into the spotlight—this book is an invaluable resource for understanding the experiences, dedication, and aspirations of African American professionals in the Human Sciences. The chapters cover a wide array of topics within Family and Consumer Sciences academic programs and the role of leadership in building enduring programs and embracing new avenues for achievement.
