UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Engendering Sisterhood UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Engendering Sisterhood, Solidarity, and Self-love: Black Feminist Pedagogy and the Identity Formation of African-American Girls. A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Education by Monique Lanier Lane 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Engendering Sisterhood, Solidarity, and Self-love: Black Feminist Pedagogy and the Social Identities of African-American Girls. By Monique Lanier Lane Doctor of Philosophy in Education University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Tyrone Howard, Chair 2014 Efforts towards urban school reform regularly overlook the complex socio-cultural contexts in which Black female students are situated and the ways in which their subordination is regularly perpetuated in schools. The propagation of urban misogyny in youth popular culture and corresponding reductive media narratives that position young Black women as hypersexual, aggressive, and anti-intellectual profoundly influence the evolving identities of these youth. This reality—coupled with the unremitting urging by policymakers for educators to align curriculum with standardized tests—has created classroom contexts that disregard the educational needs and cultural subjectivities of these youth. Drawing from a Black feminist framework, this study involves analyzing Black feminist pedagogical practices employed for two years during the ii author’s recent research as an English teacher at a public South Los Angeles high school. Specifically, a qualitative methodology is utilized to explore the immediate and long-term impact of a Black feminist curriculum on African-American female students’ orientation towards school and the development of their racial/ethnic and gender identities. This research offers concrete examples of pedagogical processes that engender self-actualization and an authentic craving for cultural and intellectual empowerment among young Black women. Implications for classroom pedagogy, and teacher education are explored. iii The dissertation of Monique Lanier Lane is approved. Kimberly Gomez Thomas Philip Venus Evans-Winters Tyrone Howard, Committee Chair University of California, Los Angeles 2014 iv DEDICATION In the midst of celebrating Black female empowerment and the culmination of this research study, I sit with a heavy heart. There are millions of Black women and girls—at home and abroad—whose full expression of humanity is stifled by interlocking forms of race, class, and gender oppression. Many of us agonize over our subordination in silence; our pain is overshadowed by the ubiquitous image of the strong, Black woman. Notwithstanding the few who have masterfully commanded respect and recognition in public domains (shout out to Oprah Winfrey and Lupita Nyong’o), most of Africa’s daughters have been simply consigned to oblivion. I will continue to put pen to paper until we all have the liberty to cultivate our gifts and determine our destinies. Black women matter. Our stories are important. The struggle is not in vain.

  • Too Terrible to Relate: Dynamic Trauma in the Novels of Toni Morrison
    ABSTRACT HUMANITIES STAYTON, COREY C. B.A. XAVIER UNIVERSITY, 1994 M.A. CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, 1997 TOO TERRIBLE TO RELATE: DYNAMIC TRAUMA IN THE NOVELS OF TONI MORRISON Committee Chair: Daniel Black, Ph.D. Dissertation dated May 2017 This study examines fictional representations of trauma as reflected in Toni Morrison’s novels Sula, Song of Solomon, and Beloved. By utilizing the theoretical modes of new historicism and trauma theory, the veil of double consciousness is explicated. The modes also help to expose the climate of trauma in the novels which produce various forms of dysfunction in the individual and the community. The unspoken atrocities experienced as a result of slavery, Jim Crow, and physical and sexual violence in many of Morrison’s novels suggest the common thread of trauma in the lives of the characters who experience similar events in Morrison’s stories. The particular traumas depicted in Morrison’s novels, Sula, Song of Solomon, and Beloved, damage agency, leading to detachment and paralysis in the individual. The scope of this study is limited to the novels Sula, Song of Solomon, and Beloved as they best illustrate trauma in Morrison’s characters and the damage that the pathology causes to agency, leading to detachment and paralysis in general. TOO TERRIBLE TO RELATE: DYNAMIC TRAUMA IN THE NOVELS OF TONI MORRISON A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY COREY STAYTON DEPARTMENT OF HUMANITIES ATLANTA, GEORGIA MAY 2017 © 2017 COREY C.

    36-24-36: The Effect of Listening to Rap Lyrics that Promote the Curvy Ideal on Black Women’s Body Image Dissatisfaction by April D. Scott A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in a partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama December 14, 2019 Copyright 2014 by April D. Scott Approved by Annette Kluck, Chair, Professor of Leadership and Counselor Education Randolph Pipes, Professor Emeritus of Counseling Psychology Evelyn Hunter, Assistant Professor of Counseling Psychology Abstract Body image dissatisfaction (BID) has been linked to a number of concerns such as low self- esteem, disordered eating, anxiety and depression. Mainstream media has been identified as one of the biggest culprits in the transmission of unrealistic body ideals to women because these media sources frequently promote a thin, slim body type, known as the thin-ideal; however, this body type is not always perceived as desirable among Black men and women. This study investigated the effect of exposing Black women to rap lyrics that promote the curvy ideal on their level of body image dissatisfaction. In order to examine the links between the variables of interest, a sample size of 96 Black women between the ages of 18 and 34 completed a demographic questionnaire and a state-based body image rating scale before exposure to audio of three rap songs with high levels of curvy ideal content or audio of neutral rap songs that did not reference body ideals. After exposure, participants completed the same state-based measure of body image dissatisfaction as was completed pre-exposure to song lyrics, a trait-based measure of body image dissatisfaction and a figure rating scale.
