Black students are at greater risk for exposure to traumatic events. A significant factor contributing to this reality is a form of trauma they experience known as racial trauma. Social and emotional learning (SEL) can be used as a tool to mitigate the effects of racial trauma, particularly as it relates to promoting equity. However, as it exists there is a failure to address the unique worldview and specific needs of Black students in the current SEL framework. The purpose of this study is to explore how race, social/cultural identities, racism, and other forms of discrimination influence Black adolescent students’ learning, emotions, emotional expression, and interactions with school staff and students during high school. A reflective phenomenological study was conducted to explore social and emotional learning of Black high school students. Interviews were conducted with seven Black college students between the ages of 18 and 19. Data was analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Findings point to the significant role of double consciousness as the guiding framework for the SEL of Black adolescent students, as well as the specific ways Black adolescents experience SEL, the role of the school as a perpetuator of anti-Black racism, the intersections of other social identities in these experiences, and how Black students use resistance to address racism and discrimination. Findings indicate the need for a reframing of SEL that centers the racialization and intersecting identities of Black youth and teaching SEL competencies through a critical lens with a focus on creating systemic change.
