Intersectional Microaggressions: Understanding the Diverse Experiences of Black Academics
Abstract
Black academics in higher education navigate systemic biases, often experiencing harmful microaggressions. When these biases intersect with multiple marginalized identities such as gender, class, or sexual orientation, they become intersectional microaggressions, compounding the burdens faced by Black faculty. This chapter explores the manifestations of intersectional microaggressions in academia, highlighting their impact on well-being, career trajectories, and institutional inclusion. Using an intersectional framework, the discussion examines how race, gender, and other identity markers influence these experiences. The chapter also addresses coping strategies, institutional responsibilities, and recommendations for fostering inclusive academic spaces. By shedding light on the overlooked experiences of Black faculty, this work contributes to conversations on dismantling systemic discrimination and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education.
