요약This study is a cautionary tale about Black pushout and the fragility of fugitive spaces in the context of an afterschool Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) club designed for Black high school students. This historical case study examines this club from its beginning in 2014 until its end in the spring of 2019 and focuses on understanding how Black students were pushed out of the club following a decision to shift the club from an all-Black space to a multiracial space. This study utilizes the theories of Afropessimism and anti-Black racism to examine shifts in the club's racial composition. I analyze participant interviews to understand how the goals of the club shifted in response to changes in the racial composition of the space and how this shift mapped on to the experiences of Black students.This dissertation examines whether the club functioned as a space of Black educational fugitivity and shelter from racial harm, how racial solidarity may have contributed to this functioning, and how the educators that designed and facilitated the space thought about what they were creating and/or sustaining. I argue that as the club became more multi-racial, a greater number of anti-Black discourses were introduced into the space, disrupting its fugitivity in ways that were harmful to Black students and pushed them out of the space. This dissertation will expand upon current understandings of how fugitive spaces develop, the experiences of Black learners in fugitive spaces, and how fugitive spaces are often the targets of disassembly in ways that become harmful and un-useful for Black students. This dissertation will also offer insights into the challenges faced by educators as they support students in the creation and maintenance of fugitive spaces.
