Abstract/Artist's Statement

This thesis examines the effects of the disproportionate discipline of Black girls in K-12 New York City schools. It will do this by looking into the experiences of ten Black girls who have experienced different forms of discipline. It will anchor itself in stereotypes that social media often pushes on Black girls through controlling images and the ways that Black girls have been negatively affected within educational spaces. It will also explore solutions and other aspects of this experience. By looking into the history of New York City schools, literature, and my participant's interviews, we will get an understanding of the discriminatory practices and struggles that Black girls face in New York City schools.
