Heman Sweatt Center<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Housed within the Division of Campus & Community Engagement<\/a> at the University of Texas at Austin (UT), the<\/span> Heman Sweatt Center<\/a> (Sweatt Center) is a faculty-led student organization consisting of professors, administrators, graduate, and undergraduate students committed to creating community and honoring the legacy of Heman Marion Sweatt.<\/p>\n

Heman Sweatt Center Research Lab<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The <\/span>Heman Sweatt Center Research Lab<\/span> strives to create equitable access for Black males across the P-16 educational continuum. The <\/span>Heman Sweatt Center Research Lab<\/span> accomplishes this goal by publishing asset-oriented and humanizing research articles and briefs, centralizing research from the nation\u2019s top scholars in a publicly accessible fashion, and developing the research skills of graduate and undergraduate students.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Core Components:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    BMERC & Black Male Research Briefs<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    The highly visible image of the Black male in America is a frequent topic of scrutiny, conjecture, and opinion. But what does research into the reality of the Black male experience have to say? Helping scholars, journalists, and educators discover answers to that question is our goal through BMERC<\/a> and our Black Male Research Briefs<\/a>. The peer-reviewed scholarly information provided and featured provides a counter-narrative to the prevailing beliefs about American Black males.<\/p>\n

    We collate and examine peer-reviewed research from the nation\u2019s top scholars on issues related to Black males and topics that include, but are not limited to, the\u00a0achievement gap<\/a>,\u00a0sport<\/a>,\u00a0gender identity<\/a>,\u00a0social justice<\/a>, the\u00a0school-to-prison pipeline<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0criminal justice system<\/a>. It is hoped that engagement with evidence-based inquiry and facts about Black males will provide a counternarrative to the prevailing beliefs about Black males, inform the myriad discussions regarding these men and boys, and steer conversation toward truth about their experiences and needs.<\/p>\n
