“…The research design for this study began with an endarkened feminist epistemology (Dillard, 2000), which focused on the ways of knowing that encompass historical, cultural, and spiritual aspects of my identity as a Black Christian woman. Critical race feminism (Berry, 2010;Wing, 2003Wing, , 2015, a critical theory, recognizes the experiential knowledge of women of Color, and the intersections of race, gender, class and other identities Black women possess. Critical race feminism also seeks to dismantle systems of oppression (e.g., sexism, racism, etc.)…”

“…The biographical questionnaire focuses on demographic data, educational history, co-curricular activities, family history, and in-class and out-of-class activities. In addition to the questionnaire, I employed a series of three semistructured interviews during which I asked the participants to share counterstories (Berry, 2010;Collins, 2000a;Delgado, 1989;Wing, 2015). The first interview of the three interviews focused on the participant's life history and experiences with enrollment processes and in-class experiences.…”

“…Critical race feminism is a critical theory that speaks to the complex realities of women of color (Berry, 2010;Wing, 2003Wing, , 2015. It has arisen out of critical legal studies, critical race theory (Bell, 1987, Ladson-Billings, 1995, and different variations of feminism, particularly Black feminist thought (Collins, 2000a(Collins, , 2000bCrenshaw, 1989).…”

“…Additionally, an endarkened feminist epistemology positions research as a responsibility and thus held me accountable to the participants. Finally, critical race feminism, which is rooted in the works of critical legal scholars who postulated that laws and policies create hierarchies based on class, gender, and race (Wing, 2015), served as the theoretical framework for this study. Critical race feminism also posits that intersectionality-namely class, gender, and race-simultaneously shape the experiences of women of color broadly and Black women specifically.…”

“…Critical race feminism is a critical theory that examines social structures of power and Critical race feminism is derived from critical legal studies, critical race theory, and feminist theory (Berry, 2010;Wing, 2015). There are several core beliefs that shape this theory.…”

Culturally relevant pedagogy and critical race feminism can be utilized to challenge the inequality and masculine nature of chemistry. Such an approach is needed to increase the representation of Black women in STEM and can be leveraged to create a curriculum that addresses the lived experiences of these individuals. This approach can shift the dynamics of the learning environment by allowing students to take the lead in creating knowledge and, in the case of students, seeing how other Black women experience and contribute to the field of chemistry in meaningful ways. In acknowledging the intersection of gender, race, and personal interest in connection with culturally relevant pedagogies, learning strategies have been created to engage Black women. Student interview and survey data revealed their interest and growing knowledge of the relevance of science. The information also showed that completing the culturally relevant lab activities helped students see themselves as developing scientists. Based on the response to the activities, it is believed that the intentional design of an academically challenging and inclusive curriculum will enhance students' perception of themselves as scientists.

Steeped in both critical race feminism (Wing, 1997) and social cognitive career theory (Lent et al., 2002), the present study intentionally centered the voices of 11 Women of Color graduate students and early career professionals to understand how graduate advisors mitigated or exacerbated the structural barriers Women of Color navigate during their science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) doctoral programs. Using thematic analysis grounded in the social constructivist paradigm, researchers identified four emergent themes: (a) unsupportive advising behaviors as a contextual barrier, (b) debilitating impact on mental health, (c) shared gender identity but mismatch racial/ethnic identity, and (d) advocacy-centered instrumental support and psychosocial support as key contextual supports. Results indicated that graduate advisors’ behaviors served as both contextual barriers that exacerbated the structural barriers Women of Color navigated in STEM, as well as contextual supports that enhanced the doctoral experience and mitigated the adverse toll of marginalizing encounters in STEM. Three recommendations that stem from this work include: (a) adopt an intersectional approach to advising that values students as whole beings, (b) commit to antioppressive advocacy as part of the advising role, and (c) recognize the toll that unsupportive advising behaviors have on Women of Color’s mental health.
