CREATING OUR OWN TOOLS: DISSEMINATING ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE PSYCHOLOGY OF BLACK WOMEN IN COLLEGE SETTINGS

American Educational Research Association Conference. Denver, CO

An integral part of any research project is our ability to effectively communicate knowledge. This paper addresses our experiences as Black women researchers seeking to infuse accurate and central knowledge about Black womanhood in college spaces. We begin by highlighting problems with the peer review publication process as the academic gauge of “real” research. We then outline way in which we can effectively communicate research created by or centering Black women- social media, collaborative citing, and foundational textbook- ensure reach to larger populations across scientific communities and lay populations. This approach further ensures the research will also have meaning for those who would most benefit from this knowledge.
