"You Need People Who Support You": Counterspaces for Women of Color Community College Faculty
Rebecca Cepeda
Education Leadership Review, v25 n1 p30-46 2024
Research demonstrates that Women of Color faculty experience multiple systems of oppression in the academy. However, much of the literature surrounding the topic of Women of Color faculty is situated within university environments. A paucity of research sheds light on the experiences of Women of Color faculty within the community college setting. In this investigation, I explored how Women of Color community college faculty members found and engaged in counterspaces to help them navigate academia. This research study illuminates the testimonios of 10 Women of Color community college faculty across the United States. The findings of this study offer implications for researchers and community college administrators to carefully consider the experiences of Women of Color faculty within these institutional types.
