OUR VOICES OF AUTHORITY: AMPLIFYING BLACK WOMEN'S KNOWLEDGE VIA THE PSYCHOLOGY OF BLACK WOMANHOOD TEXTBOOK 

Association of Black Psychologists- South Florida Chapter.

Psychological research focused on Black women's experiences have continued to rely, on age- old stereotypes and researcher biases. While we should not ignore problematic behavioral trends or negative outcomes, there is a need to broaden our design foci and move beyond testing research agendas not validated by Black women’s holistic experiences. This presentation will guide researchers toward engaging in self- reflection about their work. This would include answering questions like who benefits from the research? Who should benefit from it? How is the work impacted by the presence of a deficit lens at any stage of the research process?

ADDRESSING BLACK WOMANHOOD IN HIGHER EDUCATION CURRICULUM

International Conference on Urban Education. Cancun, Mexico

Of all the higher education degrees earned by Black people, Black women received two-thirds (Haynes et al., 2020). The majority earn degrees in traditional fields that rely upon White- Westered centered research that often relies upon stereotypes and comparative approaches. Developing concrete steps for integrating knowledge Black womanhood from a non- deficit lens through these traditional fields’ curriculum is critical for supporting one of the largest populations on campuses today and increasing knowledge about their diverse experiences across other populations. This presentation will address the types of voids in knowledge about Black womanhood in traditional psychology courses at both HBCUs and urban PWI (predominately white institution) contexts. We will provide concrete insights into the ways that faculty can center intersectional understandings of Black womanhood in these settings.
