Cis-gendered experiences in higher education: A photovoice exploration of adult learners in Jamaica
Access to higher education continues to increase in the Caribbean, and with this comes disparities among those who participate. For instance, Jamaica, a traditionally patriarchal society, has seen a greater increase among women participating in higher education when compared to men. This paper presents findings that highlight how non-traditional adult learners at a university in Jamaica describe the role of gender in their graduate school experie…
Black Women Academics’ Hypervisibility and Hyperinvisibility in British and Postcolonial British Caribbean Higher Education Institutions
Black women academics often experience social and intellectual isolation and are overworked and underpaid within the academy. There has been seminal research on the experiences of Black women academics in British and postcolonial British Caribbean higher education institutions; however, few comparative studies have been conducted on their experiences between ex-colonial states and former colonies. This study aims to better understand the intersec…

When Home Is the Mouth of a Shark: Navigating the Academy as the Self in Black and Brown Skin
As transnational women living in Jamaica and South Africa, we came together in Brazil to employ collaborative autoethnography to deconstruct and make sense of our experiences in academia. In this article, we compare our identities in the academy with that of refugees and juxtapose Warsan Shire’s poem Home, where she describes the forced reasons why people leave their country of birth and the psycho-emotional labor of the refugee crisis. Borrowing…
Toward an Understanding of Intersectionality Methodology: A 30-Year Literature Synthesis of Black Women’s Experiences in Higher Education
Kimberlé Crenshaw’s scholarship on Black women has been the springboard for numerous education studies in which researchers use intersectionality as a theoretical framework; however, few have considered the possibilities of intersectionality as a methodological tool. In this literature synthesis, the authors (a) examined studies about Black women in higher education that had been published in the past 30 years to understand how those scholars app…
Enacting inclusivity in the preparation of emerging scholars
This article explores how three doctoral candidates enrolled in the discipline of Higher Education gained an understanding of social justice, equity-mindedness and diversity in the academy. Prior to the admission of these three students, two faculty members had reformed the doctoral programme to align it with the principles of inclusive pedagogy. They created a conceptual framework for the redesign of the programme’s mission, curriculum and pedag…
Black Deprivation, Black Resistance, and Black Liberation: The influence of #BlackLivesMatter (BLM) on higher education
Oppression and resistance remain intricately linked such that the shape of one influences that of the other. (Collins, 2000, p. 274)Patricia Hill Collins asserts that oppression and resistance exis
Black Liberation research: Qualitative methodological considerations
This article provides an overview of critical qualitative considerations for Black Liberation Research. The methodological considerations focus on: (a) resistance research as paradigm, (b) researcher positionality, (c) naming Black deprivation as the problem of study, (d) situating Black Liberation as the aim of analysis, and (e) centering emotions as humanizing methods. Taken together, the articles in this special issue provide an example of how…
