Microaggressions, Misogynoir, and Liberation for Black Women in Higher Education Leadership
Abstract
This chapter delves into the duality of oppression and freedom experienced by Black women in higher education leadership, focusing on the pervasive challenge of microaggressions. It explores the paradoxical visibility and invisibility of Black women in academic spaces, framed through resilience and liberation. The analysis begins with the historical and structural context of microaggressions, emphasizing their role as contemporary manifestations of systemic racism and sexism. The emotional and physical toll these microaggressions impose is examined, highlighting issues like racial battle fatigue, gaslighting, and the psychological burden of constant bias. The concept of misogynoir within academia is scrutinized, revealing how Black women face unique challenges due to the intersection of racism and sexism. This includes exclusion from decision-making, disproportionate disciplinary actions, and workplace hostility.
