Showcases the lived experiences of racialized women in academia in their respective higher education institutions.
Through a collection of comprehensive, accessible essays, this volume discusses the key challenges that women of color in academia—faculty, administrators, and graduate students—face. The arguments presented in these chapters are based on multi-disciplinary empirical research and theoretical frameworks rooted in a variety of disciplines such as Indigenous studies, social work, psychology, health sciences, and education. This volume offers tangible remedies and approaches to address systemic inequities and promote meaningful institutional change for educators, administrators, and stakeholders in higher education on a national level.
