“…As many anti-racist and women’s movements in the past have found storytelling to be a powerful tool for waging decolonising struggles, examining the main stories each movement tells is a way to analyse their practice of decolonial feminism that might aid in challenging the legacies and structures which contribute to Black women students’ experiences of sexual violence. Scholars of racial and gender justice like critical race studies theorists and critical race feminist scholars have identified storytelling and testimonies as effective methods of documenting the effects of racial and gender violence (Solorzano and Yosso, 2002; Harris, 2015). Reverend James Lawson Jr, a renowned strategist for non-violent organising during the Civil Rights Movement, has taught that the first step to waging a non-violent struggle is to focus the movement, which means to understand the main issues for the movement (Sharma, 2016).…”

According to the US Department of Justice, women (33 per cent) are more likely than men (19 per cent) to experience violent victimisation (Morgan and Kena, 2018). Black women students are especially at risk of experiencing rape or sexual assault (Planty et al., 2013). A special report on sexual violence among college-age women found that between 1995 and 2013, the rate of sexual violence victimisation for Black females was 2.5 times higher than for white females (Sinozich and Langton, 2014). Furthermore, unlike other groups, Black women students were more likely to experience sexual victimisation than Black women non-students (ibid.). While Black women students experience higher rates of sexual violence, they remain on the periphery in discussions about sexual violence in higher education and violence against Black women (Wooten, 2017). Black women's violent victimisation in higher education and the marginal attention to the problem reveal the persistence of the US' historical legacy of racist and sexual violence.In this piece, I analyse the primary stories or narratives used and invoked by two popular movements against gender-based violence to ascertain their potential to address Black women students' experience of campus sexual violence. I examine the In My Words movement, the latest rendition of the national fight against campus sexual violence, and the Say Her Name movement, the leading movement for Black women's lives in the US. Together, these movements symbolise different attempts to deal with the issue of gender-based violence on campus and racist and gender-based violence against Black women. Subsequently, I employ a decolonial feminist framework for understanding Black women's experiences of sexual violence on university campuses and in other institutions. decolonial feminist praxisDecolonial feminist theory explains how women of colour are not included in the category of woman, a designation for white women that includes protection and bodily sanctity (Lugones, 2010).

“…Failure to examine the historical context for race in marketing has meant de facto support for marketplace discrimination and the upholding of White supremacy. The marketing academy, like other societal institutions, has perpetuated Whiteness (Harris 2015). A review of consumer research literature concludes that “it is dominated by ‘[W]hite faces’ and ‘[W]hite spaces,’ resulting in many investigators consciously or unconsciously performing [W]hiteness” (Burton 2009, p. 171).…”

“…Drawing on CRT, these 34 papers were assessed for the application of “racial lenses” in response to what is seen as a frequently asked question: “Why were people of color much more likely than whites to see American society as racist and to be pessimistic about the possibility of eliminating racism? Did they know something whites did not?” (Harris 2015, p. 267). CRT argues that the answer to this latter question is yes, “arguing for a ‘voice of color’ that needed to be heard.” (ibid).…”

A Macromarketing Call to Action—Because Black Lives Matter!

This essay poses the question do Black Lives Matter to marketing? Putting the spotlight on research in marketing reveals the multiple ways in which the field has neglected a most pressing issue of our time—structural and systemic anti-Black racism. The global rallying cry in the Black Lives Matter protests alerts us to the urgency for transformative change in all spheres including the marketing academy. Macromarketing is particularly poised to lead this change given the commitment to justice in marketing systems and concerns with the bilateral impact of marketing on society. This essay issues a call to action to re-historize the role of transatlantic slavery, for researchers to be reflective in addressing systemic racism, and for the academy to adopt anti-racist strategies to propel this scholarship from the periphery of marketing thought to its core.

“…CRT originates from legal scholarship that sought to explore how and why racism persists in US society when most policies and socially accepted norms condemn it. CRT, by name, arose in the wake of the Civil Rights Movement when scholars questioned why Black people did not experience sweeping improvements in their life opportunities and outcomes (Harris, 2015). It was developed as a framework to “help in theorizing, examining, and challenging the manner in which race and racism explicitly and implicitly impact social structures” (Aviles de Bradley, 2015, p. 844).…”

Race matters in addressing homelessness: A scoping review and call for critical research

Structural racism contributes to homelessness in the United States, as evidenced by the stark racial disparities in who experiences it. This paper reviews research at the intersections of race and homelessness to advance efforts to understand and address racial inequities. Part 1 offers a synthesis of homelessness research from the 1980s to 2015, where several scholars examined the role of race and racism despite mainstream efforts to present the issue as race‐neutral. Part 2 presents the results of a systematic scoping review of research at the intersections of race and homelessness from 2016 to 2021. The 90 articles included demonstrate a growing, multidisciplinary body of literature that documents how needs and trajectories of people experiencing homelessness differ by race, examines how the racialized structuring of society contributes to homelessness risk, and explores how programs, policies, and grassroots action can address inequities. In addition to charting findings and implications, included studies are appraised against research principles developed by Critical Race Theory scholars, mapping the potential of existing research on race and homelessness to challenge racism.
