From Classroom to Conference Room: Microaggressions in Scholarly Interactions
Abstract
This chapter examines Black women scholars' experiences of microaggressions in, and beyond, the classroom. The chapter follows the narrative of one Black woman scholar at a historically White institution whose story was captured in a phenomenological study that convened a professional counterspace (West, 2017,2019) for Black women faculty and administrators mid-COVID-19 pandemic. The study employed Black Feminist Thought (Collins, 1986, 1990) to position the Black women scholars as the authors, subjects, and chief analyzers of their own stories. The study found that microaggressions dominate the workplace experiences of the Black women faculty and administrators in the professional counterspace. This chapter highlights the ways microinvalidations are employed by students and controlling images are invoked by a colleague, in the experiences of the Black woman scholar. The narrative illustrates the multiplicity and multidirectionality of microaggressions navigated by Black women scholars.
