Are Black Women Faculty and Women of Color Faculty Synonymous?

Sat, April 18, 8:15 to 9:45am, Virtual Room

Abstract

Black women faculty in the professoriate are often lumped into broader women of color categories when examining their experiences in academia. However, women of color are not a monolith and their experiences should be examined with disaggregation. The current study examined the time allocation of Black women faculty in relation to other women of color faculty to assess whether narratives compiling all women of color faculty together are appropriate. Results showed that Black women faculty differ in how they allocate their time in relation to their women of color counterparts. Our findings suggest that studies conducted aggregating the stories of women of color are not portraying the unique experience Black women faculty are facing.
