Title: Defying Odds and Certainty: Challenges and Approaches to the Retention, Inclusion and Resilience of African-American Women in Higher Education
Abstract: This chapter identifies and discusses key themes that can confound resilience, retention, and inclusion among African-American faculty in higher education. A conceptual framework of protections and risks to retention, inclusion, and the resilience of faculty is provided to guide practices of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The theoretical underpinning of the conceptual framework derives from intersectionality and postulates resilience in the face of adversity and defiance in the face of opposition. Recommendations for higher education leaders and faculty for retention and inclusion are provided.
