the school experiences of black and Latino adolescent boys and
young men in urban contexts. Carey employs primarily qualitative
approaches in researching and writing about both macro and micro
issues related to families and schools, teacher education,
professional development for equity, and the ways black and
Latino adolescent boys and young men conceptualize their
post-secondary school futures and enact college-going processes.

with a concentration on minority and urban education, from the
University of Maryland College Park; his master’s degree in human
development and psychology from the Harvard University Graduate
School of Education; and his bachelor’s degree in secondary
