Abstract
Misogynoir--expressed gender bias and racial discrimination against Black women--studies have been limited in contemporary adult education empiricism. This mixed methods pilot used social media posts, interviews, and an online survey to examine the phenomenon. The research volunteers centered on American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS), aged 19 to 58. A validated psychometric survey was administered to 110 subjects aged 19 to 82. Results did not support the propositions of a gender war between ADOS men and women. Perception of Black women being undesirable partners was significant at the p < 0.01 alpha level. Black women perceived Black men as the key influencers of misogynoir themes compared to white men. However, the collectivist higher-order thinking to support a national reparations project was notable in Black men. [For the full proceedings, see ED631897.]
