Objectively, has been sought to understand if institutional racism and gender interfere in their professional trajectories, and what challenges were found to legitimize themselves in academic and scientific space. The methodology adopted is a qualitative research through semi-structured interviews with black female teachers who work in federal and state public institutions located in the interior and capital of the state of Ceará. The interviews were fulfilled into 3 parts: identity profile (general information of interviewed), socioeconomic data and life history. Parallel to the interviews, the Curriculum Lattes of each teacher was analyzed in order to identify the academic course carried out by the teachers. From the narratives of nine black female teachers located at the State University of Ceará, Federal University of Ceará, Cariri Regional University and University of International Integration of Afro-Brazilian Lusophony, we present her trajectories, achievements and challenges. In this research, in spite of showing the advances and the achievements made by black teachers in higher education institutions, what represents the constant effective work through the construction of new methodological and epistemological proposals, it also presents and denounces the multiple facet of racism, prejudice and racial discrimination, through the career trajectories in the institutional sphere or in interpersonal relationships. These findings call attention to the urgency of constructing new concrete attitudes in the institutional sphere, in this way, some actions could be more prominent to confront racism and segregationism practices and the power relations imbued in academic culture. In spite of everything, we could reaffirm that the presence of black teachers in this white academy, rework the scientific canons, and it is also a space of affirmation and recognition. Once they are there (in the universities), they carry out a work where the individual is collective, within a perspective of schooling and antiracist education. / O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar a trajetória profissional de docentes negras e doutoras, que atuam em universidades públicas do Ceará. Objetivamente, buscou-se compreender se racismo institucional e gênero interferem em suas trajetórias profissionais, e quais os desafios encontrados para se legitimarem no espaço acadêmico e científico. A metodologia adotada parte de uma pesquisa qualitativa mediante a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas junto às professoras que se autodeclararam negras e que atuam nas instituições públicas federais e estaduais, localizadas no interior e na capital do estado do Ceará. As entrevistas foram divididas em 3 partes: perfil identitário (informações gerais da entrevistada), dados sócios econômicos e história de vida. Paralelo as entrevistas, realizou-se análise do Currículo Lattes de cada professora de modo a identificar o percurso acadêmico realizado pelas mesmas. A partir de narrativas de nove professoras negras situadas na Universidade Estadual do Ceará, Universidade Federal do Ceará, Universidade Regional do Cariri e Universidade da Integração Internacional da Lusofonia Afro brasileira, apresentamos aqui suas trajetórias, conquistas e desafios. Nesta pesquisa, apesar de mostrar os avanços e as conquistas realizadas pelas professoras negras nas instituições de ensino superior, no que se refere ao constante trabalho efetivo mediante a construção de novas propostas metodológicas e epistemológicas, também apresenta e denuncia as múltiplas facetas nas quais o racismo, preconceito e a discriminação racial transversalizam as trajetórias profissionais, quer seja no âmbito institucional, quer seja nas relações interpessoais. Tais achados, nos chamam a atenção para a urgência de construção de novas atitudes concretas em âmbito institucional, no enfrentamento das práticas racistas, segregacionistas e das próprias relações de poder impregnadas na cultura acadêmica. Apesar de tudo, podemos reafirmar que a presença de docentes negras nesta academia branca, reelaboram os cânones científicos, e é também um espaço de afirmação e reconhecimento. Uma vez que lá estão (nas universidades), realizam um trabalho onde o individual é o coletivo, dentro de uma perspectiva de escolarização e educação antirracista.

The purpose of this study was to examine the voices of Latino/a Senior Student Affairs Officers (SSAOs) in terms of described challenges in becoming a SSAO and how the intersection of race influences their lived experiences as SSAOs at selected public and private two- and four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. Latino/a SSAOs are dramatically underrepresented in American colleges and universities. The lived experiences of this unique group have been ignored in existing empirical literature. A particular focus of this research was to gain a better understanding of how Latino/a SSAOs experience and respond to what they perceive as racism, if any, and/or other forms of discrimination during this experience. The theoretical lens used in this research study was Critical Race Theory (CRT). / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2015. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

President Obama’s 2014 “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative responds to the continuing educational disparities that the No Child Left Behind Act was intended to have addressed. The preoccupation with standardized testing and accountability over the past decade has revealed evidence of disparities in achievement between Black male students and their White counterparts. Critical Race Theorists have framed these persistent disparities as evidence of the opportunity gap and have advocated culturally responsive pedagogy that would facilitate students’ academic success. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2015. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

This case study examined women’s identity development in the workplace through the application of storytelling as a learning technique. Study participants included twenty-two women graduates and 2nd year students of diverse backgrounds ranging in ages 25 to 71 from a master’s degree applied theatre program in a Northeastern university. This study describes identity development through ways in which women make meaning of their lived experience and perceived interactions in the workplace. Data collection derived from 22 semi-structured interviews. Deeper data analysis surfaced through dramaturgical coding. Three analytical categories emerged: 1) Generations, 2) Race and 3) Sexual Orientation. The findings exposed power and positionality barriers as obstacles and challenges that undermine women’s careers. Three conclusions emerged: 1) Women continue to struggle with barriers that pose as obstacles and challenges to their learning and identity development in the workplace, 2) Women of color experience the double bind barriers of racism and sexism and 3) Women learn through storytelling and sharing workplace stories. This study privileges storytelling, a form of presentational knowing, as a legitimate way of knowing and has been shown to be conducive to learning and identity development. Women’s perspectives changed through theatre techniques using critical reflection and action; they engaged in communities of practice that offered supportive structures. Also, there continues to be resistance to hard conversations around race and inequality. Diversity programs that build upon Paulo Freire’s praxis of reflection and action hold leaders who espouse diversity initiatives to account. To avoid the paradox of diversity, human resources diversity training, organizational learning, professional development and community based social programs can leverage the power of storytelling. Affective empathy as an embodied component of storytelling establishes empathic connections between dominant culture and the marginalized. Critical and constructive development theories need to be embedded into curriculum to address systemic racism. Presentational knowing is an effective tool for social action and social justice by broadening learning beyond adult education to encourage empathy between people whose views are different. This qualitative study is grounded in critical theory, John Heron’s (1992) Presentational knowing, theories of identity and constructive development.
