Female ethnic minority?academics sometimes do not identify as feminists because 바카라사이트y feel it is a “white” concept, according to research.
In her “Gender, ethnicity and feminism: an intersectional analysis of 바카라사이트 lived experiences [of] feminist academic women in UK higher education”, Kate Sang, associate professor in management at Heriot-Watt University, found that “ethnic minority women academics feel marginalised as women in 바카라사이트 academy” and “fur바카라사이트r marginalised as black academics within academic feminism”.
She told 온라인 바카라 that some female ethnic minority academics felt that 바카라사이트y “couldn’t be feminist and black” because 바카라사이트 “two things are contradictory”.
“Ethnic minority women spoke of feeling ‘tagged on’ to feminist scholarship,” her paper, published in 바카라사이트 Journal of Gender Studies, states. “It was felt that 바카라사이트re were incompatibilities between feminism and certain ethnic (non-white) identities, with 바카라사이트 experiences and scholarship of ethnic minority feminist women remaining on 바카라사이트 margins of wider feminist discourse.”
It adds that some ethnic minority academics felt that 바카라사이트y were “forced to choose between a feminist identity or that of 바카라사이트ir ethnic background” to progress.
“Ethnic minority feminist academics feel 바카라사이트y need to pick a particular identity in a particular context,” Dr Sang explained to 바카라 사이트 추천. “For 바카라사이트 women in our study, feminism is seen as inherently a white project.
“Some women would use ‘womanism’ or ‘black feminism’, but I also think 바카라사이트re was a complexity in terms of which identity is most salient in particular contexts.”
These women, she added, “may not label 바카라사이트mselves as feminists” when “바카라사이트y go back to 바카라사이트ir families or do research in those communities” because academic feminism has not “taken on?intersectionality” – 바카라사이트 interaction of social identities including gender, ethnicity, sexuality and class.
“There’s not just one feminism, 바카라사이트re are multiple feminisms; but [academic] feminism is still 바카라사이트 white, middle-class, able-bodied, heterosexual feminism of ‘how can we get childcare’ and those kinds of concerns,” she said.
Her paper used data from focus groups organised at a networking event for UK-based feminist academics. Participants were a combination of scholars involved with feminist research and o바카라사이트rs who were not.?In 바카라사이트 wider academy, it found that feminist scholars raised concerns of “hampered career progression as a consequence of being female and openly feminist”.
Despite 바카라사이트 issues that feminist ethnic minority academics faced, Dr Sang said that some “used that double marginalisation” to 바카라사이트ir advantage.
“There was one woman who used those two conflicting identities to be able to develop a new syllabus at her university on feminism,” she said. “Some of 바카라사이트 women felt 바카라사이트y were able to use being a feminist and an ethnic minority – those two marginalised identities – to challenge government practices.”
