Dr. T. Elon Dancy's research agenda investigates the experiences and sociocognitive outcomes of college students, particularly related to the intersection(s) of race, gender, and/or culture. More specifically, Dr. Dancy's scholarship informs the extant literature and practices incident to African American males in both colleges and other educational settings.
