Abstract

Women of Color in higher education often experience cultural taxation alongside feelings of invisibility and hypervisibility. In this paper, two women faculty of color use duoethnography, a dialogic research method, to unpack a shared journal that documented their own experiences of navigating and negotiating predominantly White academic spaces. By analyzing their experiences, the researchers discovered that their shared journal revealed similar patterns documented by other women faculty of color. The dialogic nature of duoethnography also led to transformational understandings of their positionality in the academy, self-healing, and development of strategies for moving forward. Vignettes from their shared journal and dialogic excerpts are discussed.

摘要

接受高等教育的有色人种女性经常会经历文化负担以及隐形和高度可见的感觉。在本文中，两位有色人种女教师使用双人种学（一种对话研究方法）来整理一份共享日记，该日记记录了她们自己在以白人为主的学术空间中航行和谈判的经历。通过分析她们的经历，研究人员发现她们共同的日记揭示了其他有色人种女性教师记录的类似模式。双民族志的对话性质也导致了对其在学院中的地位、自我修复以及前进策略的发展的转变性理解。讨论了他们共享日记中的小插曲和对话摘录。
