Black Women in International Education Leadership

• In Event: Research In Progress Roundtables Session 4
  In Invited Roundtable: Gender and Race in Education Leadership (Table 5)

Abstract

This research explores how Black women in leadership roles within international education, both in the United States and abroad, navigate their minoritized identities in the workplace. It investigates their challenges and strategies to resist marginalization, sustain persistence, and remain motivated in their professional journeys. By examining these experiences, the study seeks to identify specific methods of resilience and empowerment that Black women in these roles use to thrive in often challenging environments. The findings will contribute to a deeper understanding of the intersectional dynamics in international educational leadership and offer insights into fostering more inclusive and supportive workplace practices.
