Navigating Intersectional Identity as a Black Female Professor Across Space, Place & Time<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the landscape of higher education, Black female professors face a complex interplay of challenges and opportunities within historically white institutions (HWIs). In this autoethnographic reflection, I delve into the intricacies of navigating academia as a real-life shapeshifter, continually negotiating identity within white educational spaces. Drawing upon Gee’s (2004) concept of shapeshifting and the intersectionality of race and sex, I explore the nuanced dynamics shaping the experiences of Black female professors in the academy. Through critical self-reflection and personal narrative, I illuminate the unique resilience required to navigate systemic inequalities. By interrogating the intersections of race, sex, and power dynamics, I contribute to a deeper understanding of identity formation within higher education. This submission responds directly to the journal’s call for papers, addressing the complexities of space, place, and time in identity exploration. By amplifying the voices of Black female scholars, I aim to advance discussions on equity, justice, and liberation within educational institutions.<\/p>\n

This reflection offers a vital perspective on the intersectionality of race and sex, highlighting its profound implications for Black female professors in the academy and emphasizing its significance in fostering equity and justice in higher education.<\/p>\n
