This article examines the ethical complexities of research data sharing through Reese's concept of ‘curtains’ and Tuck and Yang's notion of ‘refusal’, with reflexivity serving as the guiding methodology. It explores the tensions between transparency and the protection of intimate, sacred, or culturally sensitive knowledge, particularly within specific communities. Through a series of vignettes grounded in lived experiences, the authors illustrate…
For the Poetic Scholars
The underpinning of positivism persists even in the most progressive of education canons. Thus, critiques of dominant research paradigms still remain at the margins. So, we stand at the edge of the margins and “talk back” (or defiantly re-engage) the methodological canon to uproot persistent barriers to authenticity, trustworthiness, and criticality within qualitative inquiry. This study examines how two Black women tenure-track assistant profess…
“I Gotta Go to Grad School”
Background: Black women remain significantly underrepresented among tenure-track and tenured faculty in U.S. higher education, despite decades of graduate preparation initiatives. Graduate preparation programs provide invaluable resources and experiences that support historically minoritized students’ pathways into the academy. Prior research focused on navigational challenges and barriers, but there is less insight regarding the role of graduate…

Due to Black women’s non-majority status, there are rich opportunities for Black women student affairs practitioners who work at PWIs to create strong bonds with marginalized students, especially Black women collegians. So, what can these student–practitioner relationships look like between Bl…

What's Love Got to do With it? Introducing bell hooksian Love Typologies to Qualitative Inquiry in Educational Research
Many Black women scholars, like bell hooks, have been subjected to academic capitalist white supremacist patriarchal values that minimizes and invalidates the epistemologies, theories, methods, and knowledge production processes of Black women. Thus, as a means to move past antiquated theorization and knowledge production practices, I proposed a pathway forward by introducing a 'bell hooksian approach' to higher educational research that is based…
Impact of South Africa’s April 2022 floods on women and men’s lives and gender relations in low-income communities
In 2022, South Africa faced devastating flooding which resulted in the loss of at least 425 lives and widescale destruction of property. Using qualitative methods, we describe the gendered impact of the floods on homes and lives of women and men from very low-income housing areas. We conducted 16 in-depth interviews with women, and eight single-sex narrative group discussions and with 35 women and 15 men from flood-affected areas. The women were …
