Analyzing Gender Differences in Black Faculty Marginalization through a Sequential Mixed-Methods Design
Griffin, Kimberly A.; Bennett, Jessica C.; Harris, Jessica
New Directions for Institutional Research, n151 p45-61 Fall 2011
In this article, the authors demonstrate how researchers can integrate qualitative and quantitative methods to gain a deeper understanding of the prevalence and nature of cultural taxation among black professors. In doing so, they show how the impact of cultural taxation on the experiences of black faculty in the academy is best captured using both quantitative and qualitative methods--allowing researchers to generate a picture of how faculty spend their time, how they characterize interactions within their institutions, and narratives of how these have an impact their experiences throughout their career. The authors also explore how black male and female faculty experience cultural taxation in higher education differently. Despite the increased attention and discussion of the similar ways in which high service expectations, discrimination, and challenging campus environments negatively influence the salary, satisfaction, productivity, and opportunities for professional advancement for people of color and women in academia, little scholarly research explores how race and gender can simultaneously shape professors' experiences and outcomes. Men and women of color differ in their experience of colleagues' expectations and racism. Further, faculty narratives and research on women of color suggest sexism creates a unique experience for women of color in the academy. (Contains 3 tables.)
