Hidden in plain sight: Uncovering the emotional labor of Black women students at historically White colleges and universities.

Abstract: We utilized the emotional labor triangle to understand how 16 Black women students who attended Historically white colleges and universities (HWCUs) navigated gendered-racialized oppressive environments that mattered to their academic success. This study contributes to a gap in the literature, as much of the research focused on students of color without disaggregating for gender or other social identities. In addition, the literature is scant on experiences of Black women students use of emotional labor. Emoti… Show more

“…As we walk along the bridge from scholars who examined IGD from the perspective of IGD faculty and facilitators (Kelly, 2017; Khuri, 2004; Lau et al, 2011; Okello, 2020; Varghese, 2020; Zúñiga et al, 2011), our findings bear witness to challenges and supports WOC faculty face teaching IGD. The challenges we encountered of lack of resources, little power, especially when we were untenured WOC and teaching courses anchored in a social justice education pedagogy in patriarchal-centered spaces, were isolating and exhausting.…”

“…Support outside the classroom came from trusted colleagues and campus leaders who helped us obtain resources for the course to move forward. Challenges in doing IGD work are rooted in the emotional labor that is required to teach IGD (Kelly, 2017; Zúñiga et al, 2012) and the limited resources available to sustain the work (Zúñiga et al, 2007).…”

“…Future studies should examine whether and how natural mentors longitudinally affect emotion regulation skills and mental health with a more robust sample of marginalized students. This type of analysis may be especially relevant to students who hold multiple marginalized identities, given that they often experience stressors from simultaneous forms of oppression (Jones et al, 2020; Kelly et al, 2019). Moreover, given evidence that certain emotion regulation strategies may be more normative and/or adaptive within certain cultural contexts (Butler et al, 2007; Ford & Mauss, 2015; Hampton, et al, 2019; Matsumoto et al, 2008), it is essential to continue exploring interactions between students’ social identities and psychosocial functioning.…”
