Description
Summary:A hostile campus climate and culture significantly impacts students' of color overall well-being and learning, especially in the present day's highly tense racial and political environment. As fourth-year doctoral students, identifying as a Black woman and Latina, the authors have faced adversities and obstacles navigating both personal and academic life as scholars, students, daughters, and women. In this article the authors share their experiences in navigating the academy as two women of color and offer suggestions for faculty to consider related to two main pillars of the profession, research, and teaching, in socializing doctoral students of color.
