week 5 blog
In this week's lecture and reading, I was most touched by Jane Junn and Mai'a 's "Investigating Discrimination: Injustice against Women of Color In the Academy". Women in the Academic field 都have hardly and unique experiences and challenges. Inequalities in salary, as well as promotion and tenure, are issues women in higher education have had to endure since their entrance into the academy. However, for women of color, there is an additional layer to their struggles that is predicated on the impact of race and ethnicity, all synergistically affecting how women of color enter, negotiate, and are retained within academia. I cannot imagine how hard it is to always stay calm and stand out for oneself when the injustice happened. In people who have discrimination, their bodies live, and existence ae ultimately viewed as the problem. They are dismissal by their pedagogical instruction, research practices, and scholarly production. (Moore,2017)These are so harmful and incorrect.
These serious challenges and barriers may derail or disrupt the doctoral and faculty aspirations and attainment of some women of color, while others persist, resist, and thrive. Even though, the "epistemological violence" still should be inhibited. Everyone owns the right to get the equal treatment. I wish the data of discrimination would get decreasing by years with the people's more clear understanding of race and ethnicity.
