Abstract
ABSTRACT Research on Black women academics’ experiences in the Netherlands is limited despite the growing population as well as public discussions about structural racism in academic institutions. Black women have navigated how to thrive from their own standpoints in the face of white supremacy, colonialism, and misogynoir, yet continue to face intersectional oppression and erasure in and outside of Dutch academia. Our qualitative analysis applies intersectionality methodology to better understand Black women academics’ lived experiences in the Netherlands. The data yielded from this study highlights four types of intersectional erasure: 1) Hyper Invisibility and Disposability of Black Femininity; 2) Hyper Visibility, Black Women Tropes and Respectability Politics; 3) Hypo Invisibility and Self Isolation as Preservation; and 4) Hypo Visibility, Black Mothering and Epistemic Violence. The findings from this study allow us to suggest several intersectional interventions to support Black women academic success in Dutch academia.
