With the increasing focus on the critical importance of mentoring in advancing Black women students from graduation to careers in academia, this book identifies and considers the peer mentoring contexts and conditions that support Black women student success in higher education. This edited collection focuses on Black women students primarily at the doctoral level and how they have retained each other through their educational journey, emphasizing how they navigated this season of educational changes given COVID and racial unrest. Chapters illuminate what minoritized women students have done to mentor each other to navigate unwelcome campus environments laden with identity politics and other structural barriers. Shining a light on systemic structures in place that contribute to Black women’s alienation in the academy, this book unpacks implications for interactions and engagement with faculty as advisors and mentors. An important resource for faculty and graduate students at colleges and universities, ultimately this work is critical to helping the academy fortify Black women’s sense of belonging and connection early in their academic career and foster their success.

Reviews for Black Women Navigating the Doctoral Journey: Student Peer Support, Mentorship, and Success in the Academy

"""What we see in this book is a nuanced and transparent window into understanding how powerful and successful black women mentor each other in an organizational and cultural landscape that was neither built for their access nor success… Undoubtedly this book should speak to many stakeholders in higher education–current and prospective graduate students, tenure-track faculty, senior level administrators, philanthropists, and legislators. --From the foreword by Christine A. Stanley, Ph.D., Regents Professor of Higher Education, Texas A&M University"
