Healing Through Reckoning
Black feminist, womanist, and queer activist-intellectuals have deepened understandings of how intersecting systems of power-such as heteropatriarchy, misogynoir, and respectability-uniquely constrain Black lives through constructions of gender, sexuality, class, ability, and religion. Building on this work, our study investigates how Black cisgender college men navigate being both socially constructed as problems and experiencing societal proble…
Coming Back Home to Live and Not Die
The purpose of this study is to illustrate how in the span of three decades, a working-class Black gay male college student residing in a post-industrial city navigated college. Through a postcolonial geographic epistemology and theories of human geography, we explore his narrative, mapping the terrain of sexual, race and class dialects, which ultimately led to Marcus’s (pseudonym) completion of graduate school and community-based policy research…
Men Doing Life Together
Black people in the United States have and continue to pursue practices of communal bonding as well as cooperative-and-sharing economies, from the invisible institution of Black religion to underground activist collectives such as the African Blood Brotherhood. While many efforts were explicitly political, other organizations primarily emphasized socioeconomic advancement for its group members and the broader Black community. One such set of coll…
Twisted Liminalities
This introduction offers a brief and poetic introduction to historical uses of liminality. It also explains how authors in this special issue were tasked with thinking of liminalities as multiplicities or twisted liminalities. This means liminalities is not simply a rite-of-passage, but crosses time-spaces and can be a site of resistance within the contemporary moment. Also, liminalities can be an ontological position that challenges entrenched m…
Against Unseeing
Despite historic and ongoing critiques of objectivity as the gold standard for evaluating the value of research, many doctoral students and early career scholars encounter the pressures to situate one's work alongside such demands. However, such a demand often conflicts with those who are multiply marginalized and liminal subjects. Drawing on women of color feminist and ethnic and cultural studies scholars, in this article we argue for engaging l…
A Pledge of Faithfulness
Though much has been written about the benefits that Black sororities and fraternities offer its members as well as broader communities within and beyond the ivory towers, comparatively fewer studies have addressed how these organizations interact with men's constructions and embodiments of masculinities. Moreover, even fewer studies examine the intersections of masculinities, race, and religion. As such, this paper examines how members of one Bl…

I'm a Black female who happens to be Muslim
Keon M. McGuire, Saskias Casanova, Charles H.F. Davis III, “I’m a Black female who happens to be Muslim”: Multiple Marginalities of an Immigrant Black Muslim Woman on a Predominantly White Campus, The Journal of Negro Education, Vol. 85, No. 3, Why We Can’t Wait: (Re)Examining the Opportunities and Challenges for Black Women and Girls in Education (Summer 2016), pp. 316-329
Vicarious racism
In this article, the authors examine the role of vicarious racism in the experiences of doctoral students of color. The researchers conducted semi-structured individual interviews with 26 doctoral students who self-reported experiencing racism and racial trauma during their doctoral studies. The analysis generated four themes that detail the different ways in which doctoral students of color in the study experienced vicarious racism and the conse…
In Search of Progressive Black Masculinities
During the last several decades, research concerning the developmental trajectories, experiences, and behaviors of college men as 'gendered' persons has emerged. In this article, we first critically review literature on Black men's gender development and expressions within college contexts to highlight certain knowledge gaps. We then conceptualize and discuss progressive Black masculinities by relying on Mutua's germinal work on the subject. Furt…
