African-American women and other underrepresented faculty members often report experiences of social exclusion and scholarly marginalization in mainstream institutions of higher education. This lack of inclusion challenges their retention and hinders them from becoming productive members of the professoriate, positioning them at a disadvantage for achieving tenure and promotion. In this article, mentoring is conceptualized as socialization and examined as a strategy for addressing social exclusion and scholarly marginalization as associated with the advancement of African-American women faculty in academe. Highlighting traditional and nontraditional mentoring initiatives and formal and informal networks, the discussion features the idea of a broad, flexible network of support. In addition, recommendations from the existing literature are offered for mentors, mentees, and academic department chairs to facilitate effective mentoring strategies.

Black Women Navigating Historically White Higher Education Institutions and the Journey Toward Liberation

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The purpose of this chapter is to draw attention to the intersection of racism and sexism in the life of a Black woman teacher educator and how these systems operated to disempower her. The chapter highlights research on the experiences of Black women in higher education and chronicles the author's personal story of pedagogy and practice as a Black women teacher educator. The chapter also details how she navigates societal oppression within the classroom and how her work reflects social justice pedagogy where oppression is examined and challenged through professional risk-taking. While conservative norms serve as a means to marginalize her experience, the author documents how she navigates systems of oppression and how she continues to survive as she pushes against the status quo and towards personal and professional liberation. The hope is that in sharing this autoethnographic counternarrative, readers will gain insight into the systemic and microaggressive experiences of Black women teacher educators who seek to make the academy a more inclusive place.
