Black Feminist Epistemology, Research, and Praxis cover

While there has been an increase of Black women faculty in higher education institutions, the academy writ large continues to exploit, discriminate, and uphold institutionalized gendered racism through its policies and practices. Black women have navigated, negotiated, and learned how to thrive from their respective standpoints and epistemologies, traversing the academy in ways that counter typical narratives of success and advancement. This edited volume bridges together foundational and contemporary intergenerational, interdisciplinary voices to elucidate Black feminist epistemologies and praxis. Chapter authors highlight relevant research, methodologies, and theoretical or conceptual frameworks; share experiences as doctoral students, current faculty, and academic administrators; and offer lessons learned and strategies to influence systemic and institutional change for and with Black women.

In [this book] you will see/feel/hear Black women scholars (as educators, mentors, advocates, sisters, daughters, and mothers) take up space, and concomitantly, refuse space….Throughout this text [Black women academicians] boldly engage in narrative inquiry, storytelling, poetry, and prose as cultural productions that serve to speak against dominant narratives that attempt to render Black women intellectual activists invisible and erase [them] from the historical record.

--From the Foreword by Venus E. Evans-Winters, former Professor of Education at Illinois State University, USA, founder of Planet Venus, and creator of the Write Like A Scholar program.
