Publication Type: Panelist Abstract Abstract: Living Thinkers: The Autobiography of a Community of Women is a cutting edge new media documentary critically examining the interplay of race, gender, and class in the experiences of African American women in academia. Often fewer in number as faculty and senior administrators, but greater as lower-ranking housekeeping and food services staff, African American women’s presence on campuses across the country, according to various interviewees, resembles life on a plantation. Through discussions about their formal education since primary school – what I refer to as their education narratives - African American women identify race, gender and class as dictating the quality of their education and the toll these factors take on their lives as intellectuals, administrators, and academic support workers. The last part of the 20th century, America still witnessed “firsts” in relation to African American women breaking down walls of “segregated” professions in academe. Since that time, more Black women have secured higher-ranking administrative positions, more have achieved tenure and promotion, and more Black women have entered the university. Although “firsts” signal progress to a degree, Living Thinkers seeks to navigate between the actual progress and the perceived notions of progress. Progress, however, has not come without consistent struggle to have their work and existence acknowledged, respected, and valued.
