Many Black women scholars, like bell hooks, have been subjected to academic capitalist white supremacist patriarchal values that minimizes and invalidates the epistemologies, theories, methods, and knowledge production processes of Black women. Thus, as a means to move past antiquated theorization and knowledge production practices, I proposed a pathway forward by introducing a “bell hooksian approach” to higher educational research that is based on four “hooksian love typologies” (love as an active choice, revolutionary self-love, familial, and romantic) rooted in the scholarship of Black feminist theorist bell hooks. This framework helps to better understand and research the multifaceted conceptualizations of love that can assist and better support Black women and women of color on college campuses and in the academy more generally. Lastly, asserting that notions of love is a central aspect of Black life, I made recommendations for researchers and practitioners on how to utilize a love-centered hooksian approach within qualitative inquiry.
