Abstract
There can be no peace in this nation without first addressing the crisis of massincarceration among Black males. To address this concern, it is necessary toexplore the experiences of those affected through community engaged research andinvolve these individuals in developing solutions to address this problem. I am agraduate student in the IU School of Education at IUPUI pursuing a doctorate inUrban Studies. I am studying about the impacts on communities when Black boysare poorly educated in leaky K-12 pipelines and grow up to be disproportionatelyincarcerated. My research asks, what were the motivations, barriers and resourcesimpacting the experiences of African American males who were incarcerated andthen decide to pursue an education after they have been released into ourcommunities. I want to know in what ways does achieving more education, gettinga high school diploma or a bachelor’s degree, affect their lives and ourcommunities? Community engaged and community based participatoryresearchers need to ask questions about the effects of this phenomenon.
