Perceptions of African American Male Junior Faculty on Promotion and Tenure: Implications for Community Building and Social Capital by Brian N. Williams & Sheneka M. Williams — 2006A qualitative online individual interviewing approach was used to explore the perceptions of 32 African American male junior faculty at predominantly White institutions (PWIs) on how to improve support systems and structures to navigate promotion and tenure.
