| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this research was to explore the barriers that may contribute to the lack of
African American women being represented in leadership roles at academic institutions. An
analysis of the literature was conducted to examine the levels of racism, historical factors, such
as slavery, civil rights and the impact of media images on African American women being in the
academy are outlined. Critical race theory, social dominance and stereotype theory illustrate the
barriers that African American women are confronted with and that may interfere with their
pursuit of leadership roles in academic institutions. Recommendations and future research are
discussed. | |
