Abstract The path from undergraduate to the professoriate ranks is a running faucet for Black women in the academy. Of the nearly 800,000 full-time faculty at degree granting institutions, Black women represent only 0.8% of assistant, 0.5% of associate, and less than 0.3% of full professors. Racism, sexism, classism, and elitist beliefs about what constitutes a scholarly pedigree and appropriate research, populations of interest, and publication outlets permeate their academic homes. I reflect on my experiences as a mid-career, tenured, Black woman at a research-intensive, Big 10 university and discuss successes, missteps, and transformational moments.

研究黑人（和女性）

摘要 从本科到教授的道路是学院里黑人女性的龙头。在学位授予机构的近 800,000 名全职教师中，黑人女性仅占助理教授的 0.8%、副教授的 0.5% 和正教授的不到 0.3%。种族主义、性别歧视、阶级主义和关于什么构成学术血统和适当的研究、感兴趣的人群和出版渠道的精英主义信念渗透到他们的学术之家。我回顾了我在研究密集型 10 大大学作为职业中期、终身任职的黑人女性的经历，并讨论了成功、失误和转型时刻。
