Abstract
Existing research about the career advancement of Black women faculty in higher education focuses on the challenges Black women faculty face at Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs). Conversely, this chapter focuses on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), taking a non-deficit perspective. The author investigates the mentoring supports Black women faculty use that aid them in their career advancement, leveraging an electronic survey to gauge how mentoring relates to career advancement for Black women faculty. This chapter focuses on the HBCUs where Black women have the highest percentages of tenure. Survey responses are analyzed by rank and discipline, and prior literature is reviewed and discussed in comparison with the survey results.
