Perspectives: African-American Ph.D.s: Good Enough for America’s Educational Institutions?

by Dr. Omar Cook and Dr. Lawson Bush , April 30, 2009

If your goal is to become a full-time faculty member, use these positions to network with current faculty members – particularly those on search committees. This will ensure that you are ahead of any advertised posting. This should hopefully give you a leg-up on any others who are applying for the same job.

While we cannot guarantee results, we know there is an urgency by which we must operate to gain more footing in academia. Otherwise, we will continue to be viewed as mere extras in the faculty hierarchy.

— Dr. Omar M. Cook is an Adjunct Professor/Fieldwork Supervisor at Azusa Pacific University and El Camino Community College. Dr. Lawson Bush V is a professor in the Charter School of Education at California State University, Los Angeles.
