Session Type: Invited Speaker Session
This session will examine the experiences of Women of Color in academia, including racial trauma, stereotypical expectations, and discrimination. This context leads to increased stress, burnout, and racial battle fatigue that can result in illness, pushout, and opting out of higher education. In an effort to unpack ongoing mistreatment and tensions, participants will be invited to engage in dialogue across disciplinary and varied positionalities with the goal of sharing strategies, creating a space for healing, and considering examples of how colleagues, funders, and educational leaders can support, uplift, and collaborate with Women of Color to build community and address the harmful conditions and practices in higher education
