The objectives of the presentation are to:

1) Analyse the concept of masculinity as being anti-institutional, i.e, how does the male ‘rebel’ manifest in students’ academic performance?

2) Understand how gender-stereotypes impact the educational experiences of Black male students.

3) Critically reflect on faculty’s teaching practices and pedagogy.
