While there has been an increase of Black women faculty in higher education institutions, the academy writ large continues to exploit, discriminate, and uphold institutionalized gendered racism through its policies and practices. Black women have navigated, negotiated, and learned how to thrive from their respective standpoints and epistemologies, traversing the academy in ways that counter typical narratives of success and advancement. This edited volume bridges together foundational and contemporary intergenerational, interdisciplinary voices to elucidate Black feminist epistemologies and praxis. Chapter authors highlight relevant research, methodologies, and theoretical or conceptual frameworks; share experiences as doctoral students, current faculty, and academic administrators; and offer lessons learned and strategies to influence systemic and institutional change for and with Black women.

Christa J. Porter is an Associate Professor of Higher Education Administration and Student Affairs at Kent State University, USA. V. Thandi Sulé is an Associate Professor of Higher Education at Oakland University, USA. Natasha N. Croom is an Associate Professor of Higher Education and Student Affairs at Clemson University, USA.
