Black Mother Scholars: Being a Whole Mama in Academia
Manage episode 333704850 series 2798222
Dr. Porcher has a critical conversation with Dr. Bertrand about her personal experiences as a Black Mother Scholar. As a new Black Mother Scholar, Dr. Porcher gleans wisdom from Dr. Bertrand about her journey of becoming a Black Mother Scholar. We define mothers as all people who identify as mothers. Black Mother Scholars are Black Women working in academia (or any space) as mothers, growing literally and figuratively, and have a choice to “coalesce” our identities of mother and scholar (Matias, 2011). We discuss the beauty and challenges of being a Black Mother Scholar, balancing multiple identities. Even if you are not in academia, when you return to work, you have to find ways to coalesce your multiple identities. From the hood to academia, this episode is for you. We see you and we welcome you to this space.
