This work is a qualitative inquiry into the lives and experiences of nine African American women faculty during various stages of the tenure process. This study finds that African American women faculty face challenges in the academy particularly as they relate to the unwritten rules and the institutional politics surrounding tenure. This work is weaved in African American feminist thought with the literatures on academic tenure and minority and women faculty experiences in the academy.
