This study examines the intricate dynamics of racial gaslighting faced by women of color in higher education, highlighting how this form of gendered whiteness intertwines with race, gender, and power to marginalize and undermine their lived experiences. Using Critical Whiteness and Black Feminist Thought frameworks, this paper highlights the mechanisms of racial gaslighting through the methods of denial, invalidation, and distortion of lived experiences, which undermine the credibility and agency of women of color. Through personal counterstories and thematic analysis, this study uncovers the intricate facets of racial gaslighting and its harmful impact on the academic and personal well-being of women of color. By integrating insights on racialized and gendered educational dynamics, this paper emphasizes how racial gaslighting promotes affective injustice and advocates for institutional reforms and cultural shifts to create more inclusive and equitable environments.
