Abstract

This dissertation takes up Black Feminist Theories as they have been operationalized in multiple forms in varying education contexts. The three studies presented include an historical and thematic review of literature on Black Feminist Theories as well as investigations of Black Feminist activism exercised in both a higher education and grass roots organizing contexts. Findings suggest that Black women value and benefit from mentorship and create counter-spaces for Black students and colleagues. Further, Black women have utilized Black Feminist approaches as they navigate and aim to dismantle oppressive education systems. Finally, this research demonstrates the need for Black Feminist Methodologies that center Black women’s experiential knowledge, provide for humanizing research practices and elevate the perspectives and revelations of Black women.
