• In Event: Saturday Roundtable 7:45 am
  In Roundtable Session: Intersectional Feminist Ways of Knowing (Table 37)

Abstract

Employing an intersectional feminist framework, this study provides a deeper understanding of the experiences of minoritized women educational leaders in senior level roles in Philadelphia, PA and New Orleans, LA. Using a narrative inquiry merged with a multiple intrinsic case study design, this study addresses gaps in literature focusing on the experiences of minoritized women in P-20 educational leadership through restorying and counter narratives, allowing for the narratives of individual women to be amplified to shed light onto the continued gender and non-dominant inequities within educational institutions. Participants’ pathways and narratives were shared through graphic narrative participant profiles to highlight the complexities of their identities, the non-linear pathways, and agency.
