At the margins of intersecting identities: What does it mean to be a Black queer woman?Payne, Courtney 01 August 2017 (has links)
Women of color who are also sexual minorities face an interesting position of being marginalized on multiple dimensions of their identity. Psychological health and well being can be negatively impacted by having a minority status, so it is imperative that psychologists are aware of cultural differences and are competent in addressing them (APA, 2002). For persons with marginalized racial, gender, and sexual identities, identity is crafted in ways that create meaning for the individual despite experiences of racism, sexism, or homophobia. The purpose of this study was to give voice to the lived experiences of African American women who are sexual minorities. Ten interviews were conducted using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) and used frameworks of Queer Theory and intersectionality to study the experience of having multiple marginalized identities (i.e., racial, sexual, and gender identities), in addition to the meaning that individuals derive from the experience of their identity. Eight Emergent Themes were identified: (1) Dichotomy of Identity, (2) (Dis)Comfort in Communities, (3) Cultural Expectations, (4) Power and Oppression, (5) Movement between Categories, (6) Congruence, (7) Challenges to Identity, and (8) Expression and Performance of Self.

If This Is a "Real" Housewife, Who Are All These Women Around Me?: An Examination of The Real Housewives of Atlanta and the Persistence of Historically Stereotypical Images of Black Women in Popular Reality TelevisionBunai, Dominique Christabel 07 April 2014 (has links)
Stereotypical images of blacks have persisted throughout multiple forms of media for decades, with one of the most recent arenas being reality television programming. This study examines the Bravo Television network series The Real Housewives of Atlanta to consider the impact of reality television on the image of black women in America today. This increasingly popular show is the most viewed in The Real Housewives franchise, and demonstrates that black women in America do not embody any one historical or contemporary stereotype of black women in particular, but rather are a compilation of these stereotypes depending on the situation at hand. / Master of Science

THE EXPERIENCES OF BLACK WOMEN IN REGARD TO AIR POLLUTION IN TORONTOAli, Sumia January 2024 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the experiences of Black women regarding air pollution in Toronto. Specifically, it explores the experiences of Black women in Toronto in regard to air pollution and the connections to air pollution and other barriers that Black women may face in Toronto. The thesis used qualitative research alongside air pollution literature in Canada to explain these experiences. The thesis will use the definition of environmental racism and the main theoretical framework of racial capitalism. In Chapter 1, there is a general discussion on the impacts of air pollution, with mention of a ruling of the first death caused by air pollution in the world, in order to showcase the growing concern associated with exposure to air pollution. Furthermore, this chapter explains how air pollution affects population health and focuses on the impact of specific chemicals and compounds associated with air pollution. In Chapter 2, discusses why Black women and their experiences with air pollution are unique compared to the general population in Canada. Furthermore, this chapter explains air pollution and its effects in Toronto, Ontario, including the sources of traffic and industrial air pollution levels, while emphasising the unequal burden of air pollution affecting lower-income groups in Toronto. Chapter 4 explains the theoretical approaches. Chapter 5 will discuss the interview analysis, verbatim quotes from participants and connecting the theories mentioned in the literature review portion to what the participants have mentioned. Chapter 6 will conclude the thesis. / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)

THE EXPERIENCES OF UNDERGRADUATE BLACK WOMEN IN AN ACTIVE LEARNING HUMAN CENTERED DESIGN COURSE AT A PREDOMINANTLY WHITE INSTITUTIONSharlane S Cleare (9017825) 26 June 2020 (has links)
<p>Black women’s underrepresentation in STEM disciplines remains an urgent problem of major
concern in higher education institutions across the United States. The
purpose of this investigation was to explore Black women’s experiences in an
active learning STEM Human Centered Design course at a Predominantly White
Institution. It also examined how these experiences influenced Black women’s
intent to persist in STEM educational pathways. Black
Feminist Thought Theoretical Framework was used to conceptualize
and interpret the experiences of five Black female first year undergraduate
students at a Predominantly White Institution in the Midwestern region of the United
States. This qualitative case study research utilized semi structured
interviews, direct observations, and documents to gather and triangulate data
for this study. The findings from this study revealed that: (a) <i>Imposter Syndrome: An Enduring Internalized
Question of Competency, </i>(b) <i>Undermining
of Academic Abilities</i>: <i>Cross
Examination of Intellect,</i> (c) <i>Lack of
Diversity: A Colorless Norm,</i> (d) <i>Isolation:
Intrinsic Sensitivity of Separation from Others</i> were the salient
experiences facing these five undergraduate Black women. This
investigation contributes to the dearth of scholarship on Black women in STEM
by highlighting their undergraduate experiences in a STEM course, and
describing ways to ensure their persistence towards STEM educational pathways.</p>
