Black While Mothering: Retaining Motherhood, Scholarship, and Presence
摘要
This chapter explores the multiple challenges faced by Black motherscholars in academia and motherhood. Grounded in BlackCrit, endarkened feminist epistemology, and intersectionality, it examines how Black motherscholars navigate oppressive systems while nurturing intellectual and maternal identities. By reframing Black motherscholars’ experiences as acts of refusal, this work challenges dominant narratives and elevates the voices of Black motherscholars through autoethnography. Ultimately, this chapter works to define/redefine Black motherscholars as producers, illuminating our multifaceted contributions to scholarship and society while aiming to cultivate a more inclusive academic environment.
