Black Women: Perceptions and Enactments of Leadership
Journal of School Leadership, v30 n2 p146-165 Mar 2020
This critical in-depth interview study examined four Black women principals' perceptions, descriptions, and enactments of school leadership as it relates to their intersectional identities as being both Black and women. The tenets of Black feminist epistemology and the theory of intersectionality form the conceptual framework of this study. Research demonstrates that Black women leaders' multiplicative identity as Black and women influences their experiences and perceptions of leadership. The principals' perceptions of school leadership developed into several categories and two themes: student-centered leadership and perceptions of racial stereotypes and deconstructing perceptions about Black women.
