 ack Oscars."\n\nThis timely presentation draws on American\, African Amer

 \, the presentation provides a thorough analysis and overview of any blac
 k actors nominated for their Hollywood roles during each decade. By cross
 -referencing historical trends with prior winners\, audience members will
  be able to see consistent patterns when it comes to black characters in 
 film and ultimately judge whether mainstream race relations have truly ch

 the Honors College at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth\, TX. Good
 ing critically analyzes race within mainstream media\, effectively contex
 tualizing problematic patterns based upon their historical roots. As such
 \, Gooding's best-known work thus far is "You Mean\, There's RACE in My M
 ovie? The Complete Guide to Understanding Race in Mainstream Hollywood\,"
  which has been utilized in high schools and universities nationwide. Als
 o the co-editor of "Stories from the Front of the Room: How Higher Educat
 ion Faculty Overcome Challenges and Thrive in the Academy\," Gooding has 
 stayed focused on the practical applications of equity with his 2018 book
 \, "American Dream Deferred" carefully detailing the growth and struggles
  of black federal workers in the postwar era. His latest work\, "Black Os
 car" (May 2020)\, expands his reach into cultural studies by analyzing Af
 rican American Academy Award winners and how their narratives reflect and
  reinforce larger American history. Fine more about Dr. Gooding online at
