Summary:
This book explores the examined experiences of Black women in higher education. From racism, navigating feelings of self-doubt, to confronting microaggressions, Black women face an uphill battle as they earn advanced degrees in majority white institutions and departments. Having a voice means facing retaliation or dismissal, while staying silent becomes a heavy burden all its own. In "Hooded: A Black Girl's Guide to the PhD, Dr. Malika Grayson offers an account of surviving and thriving as a doctoral candidate in STEM. Written for all those who have never seen themselves represented in their chosen career, "Hooded" provides practical survival strategies, mental health tips, and ideas for creating community and leaving a lasting legacy. With this essential resource, you won't feel quite as alone -- and you might even become your own, unexpected hero.
