This article is a personal perspective on the double-dose effect of racism and sexism on Black females within the academic system. I present statistical evidence of the under-representation of this group in academic leadership positions and discuss some factors - systematic and cultural - that have contributed to the low numbers of Black women in academic leadership. The detrimental impact of this under-representation is supported by anecdotes from other Black women in academia. Finally, I propose some practical solutions to increase the representation of Black women in academia through the proactive inclusion of Black women in the design of frameworks and policies targeted to improve racial and gender-based inequality.
这是一篇关于种族主义和性别歧视对学术体系中黑人女性的双重影响的个人观点文章。本文呈现了该群体在学术领导层中代表性不足的统计证据，并讨论了一些促成黑人女性在学术领导层中人数较少的系统性和文化性因素。这种代表性不足的不利影响得到了学术界其他黑人女性的轶事证据的支持。最后，我提出了一些切实可行的解决方案，通过积极将黑人女性纳入旨在改善种族和性别不平等的框架和政策的设计中，来增加学术界中黑人女性的代表性。
