• In Event: AERA Roundtable Session Wednesday 12:40 pm Four Seasons Ballroom 1
  In Roundtable Session: CERECG SIG Round Table 2: Resistance and Retention of Educators through Black Resistance, Black Love, and Black Futures (Table 2)

Abstract

Although the racialized gendered experiences of Black women faculty in higher education have been acknowledged, the depth of their experiences in Colleges of Education at PWIs has been underrepresented. Using a qualitative case study through the lens of a critical race feminist framework, the results will provide concrete ways Colleges of Education at PWIs can attract, support, and retain BWF thus providing a safe space for them to grow, thrive and educate unabashedly. This study aims to shed light on their specific experiences so that Colleges of Education can better support Black women.
