Abstract
ABSTRACT Studies on bullying and harassment in academia, investigative news reports, and surveys continue to find that reporting these incidents leads to retaliation. Contributing to this work, we apply the lens of systemic and everyday racism theory to a narrative analysis of 25 semi-structured interviews with faculty and staff of colour, who experienced racist targeting and how they addressed these issues formally and informally. We find that, rather than assist them with the harassment they faced, such policies created an additional layer of everyday racism, emotionally segregating experiences leading to isolation and withdrawal, and contributed to racism-evasiveness in academia. Our data expose weaknesses in the implementation of policies that do not reflect modern-day expressions of racism. We recommend individual and institutional changes to protect faculty and staff of colour who have challenged racist individuals and structures.
