In this volume, women in academia use autoethnographic methods to document and unpack their experiences as women of color in the academy.Many higher education institutions have made public-facing, explicit commitments to diversifying and retaining faculty of color, yet research continues to document how, even under these changes, the experiences of faculty—especially women—of color have changed minimally, if at all. Through the use of duoethnography and other autoethnographic methods, this edited collection highlights the voices of women of color in academia from a range of university settings, developmental career stages, and professional trajectories, providing a space for women of color to process their own experiences navigating, surviving, and thriving in white male-dominated academia. The contributors featured in this volume offer important insights into how institutions of higher education could better support women of color professors.

Dobbs and Christine Montecillo LeiderAbout the ContributorsIndex

Until Every Woman Is Free is an act of resistance, a testament of care, and a necessary contribution to the ongoing fight for equity and belonging in the academy. Engaging duoethnography as both method and metaphor, this volume channels the power of relational inquiry to amplify the voices of women scholars of color. What emerges is something deeply communal, richly intersectional, and defiantly hopeful. Dobbs and Leider have curated a space for truth telling, dreaming, and solidarity that stretches beyond the page. This is a book to be read slowly, held closely, and returned to often. For those navigating the academy’s sharp edges and for those committed to transforming it, this volume offers not only company, but a call to action. Afterall, none of us are free until every woman is free.
