In this paper, andragogy, as presented by Malcolm Knowles, is critiqued as it represents European ideologies and ways of learning that fail to recognize the multifaceted experiences of adult Black males. With increased numbers of Black males entering post‐secondary education spaces, new schools of thought need to be considered that are more culturally relevant. A theory for adult Black males proves beneficial for adult learning researchers and practitioners as noted experiences include racial profiling, isolation, and racism. This paper critically examines deficit perspectives of supporting adult Black males while whiteness and systemic oppression are targeted as barriers to their success. The paper concludes with implications for practitioners who work with or conduct research on this population.

AE中的观点-成年黑人男性和男性杂物：是否有合适的体魄

在本文中，由马尔科姆·诺尔斯（Malcolm Knowles）提出的“男科学”受到批评，因为它代表了欧洲意识形态和学习方式，未能认识成年男性的多方面经历。随着越来越多的黑人男性进入专上教育空间，需要考虑与文化更相关的新思想流派。针对成年黑人男性的理论被证明对成年学习的研究人员和从业者有益，因为其中包括种族描述，孤立和种族主义等经验。本文主要考察了支持成年黑人男性的赤字观点，而白人和全身性压迫则被视为阻碍其成功的障碍。本文的结尾对从事该人群研究或对该人群进行研究的从业人员产生了影响。
