Black women as coxswains: Allyship outcomes for Black and white women in a participatory action research counterspace project developed by Black women in higher education
Defining the Contours of a Participatory Action Research Counterspace Developed by, for, and about Black Women in Higher Education
Although critical participatory action research (CPAR) has been cited as a means to cultivate more equitable systems in education, its promise has not been fully realized as a mechanism to enhance the experiences of minoritized cultural groups in U.S. higher education. As outsiders within academia who are multiplicatively marginalized, Black women’s engagement in CPAR demonstrates unique potential to address this gap. In this paper, I introduce a…
Determining our Destination: The Future of Professional Counterspaces for African American Women in Student Affairs
This basic qualitative study catalogued the collective insight of Black women student affairs professionals regarding the development and evolution of professional counterspaces in the future. Focus group discussions were facilitated with 50 women participating in a professional counterspace (PC) in the U.S., known as the African American Women’s Summit. Participants were asked to explore the following topics: 1) the purposes of PCs for Black wom…
Embodying Black feminist epistemology to make green grass grow: The transition from administrator to academic for a Black woman in student affairs
This Scholarly Personal Narrative (SPN) builds on McCluskey-Titus and Cawthon’s (2004) use of the 'grass is always greener on the other side of the fence' metaphor to explore the experiences of a Black American woman faculty member transitioning from her role as a student affairs administrator to a full-time, tenure-earning faculty member. Specifically, I recount how my positionality as a Black feminist scholar-pracademic was essential in success…
A Contemporary Portrait of Black Women Student Affairs Administrators in the United States
Although Black women are the most represented minoritized group among U.S. higher education administrators, they continue to lag behind White women and men in terms of leadership in the student affairs profession, which may be exacerbated by their relative underrepresentation in graduate programs in education. Further, beyond generalized narratives about the aggregated experiences of Black women in higher education, little is actually known about…
By Us, For Us: The Impact of a Professional Counterspace on African American Women in Student Affairs
This study investigated outcomes associated with consistently participating in a professional counterspace developed by and for African American women higher education administrators. Data were obtained from semi-structured interviews with seven African American women student affairs professionals employed at predominantly White institutions, who consistently attended the African American Women's Summit (AAWS) between 2006-2011. Participants note…
In the company of my sister-colleagues: Professional counterspaces for African American women student affairs administrators
Although conceptual models exist that describe the role of counterspaces in promoting well-being among marginalised individuals, not enough is known about the composition of professional counterspaces for Black women employed in higher education. The African American Women’s Summit (AAWS) is a national professional development programme in the U.S. known as a professional counterspace. Semi-structured interviews were used in this study to explore…
Campus Climate: An Assessment of Students’ Perceptions in a College of Education
This study presents findings from an instrument designed to assess preservice teachers’ perceptions regarding whether the environment and curriculum in a College of Education (COEDU) in a southeast, urban university are conducive to preparing them to live and work in a diverse society. A 144-item survey is administered to 126 preservice teachers enrolled in COEDU courses. Major findings indicate that though the overall climate seemed positive, ma…
