Abstract

This article details some of the writing and high-school-to-college transitioning experiences through nine Black American student voices collected from interviews at a predominantly White university in the southern United States. These accounts show what gaps exist in current scholarship and disciplinary knowledge about student writers and transitioning as well as how college educators might create antiracist, culturally sustaining writing pedagogy at the transition level.
