College students play a pivotal role in governance efforts in higher education. From student government and student associations to student regents and trustees, it is common for institutions--and systems--to engage students in the governance process (Lozano, 2020; Lozano & Hughes, 2017; May, 2010). This article highlights the noteworthy…

No existing literature centers Black women college students (BWCS) who are targeted yet absent the discourse on anti-black incidents at the intersection of gender. Using a 42-case database, we highlight how BWCS are targeted with hate, discuss gender-based racial trauma fueled by these incidents, and share recommendations for higher education.

Past laboratory work has shown that exposure to similar peers who represent success in STEM (i.e., math-talented female peer role models) can bolster female college students' math performance and STEM experiences. What is less clear is how students at intersecting identities of gender, ethnicity, and math identification differ in their similarity…
