Barbara Harris Combs
In this essay, I reflect on my lived experience as a Black, female scholar doing critical scholarship on racism in the vein of Critical Race Theory (CRT). I am particularly attentive to the ways that the current backlash against those who use critical perspectives that center the experience of marginalized persons to illuminate continuing racial oppression in society is meant to silence and frighten scholars through challenging our very livelihoods and even our sanity. Amid widespread legislative attacks in numerous states across the nation, I comment on both the emancipatory power of using the agency of Black joy to speak truth to power in a White supremacist world and the constancy of its companion-pain. I do this to better answer the question: in a place where race scholarship is under attack or heavy scrutiny, what are your experiences with leaving or staying and why?

Ted Thornhill
Florida governor Ron DeSantis, aided by the state’s Republican-controlled legislature and allied functionaries, instigated a racist and anti-Black crusade against the teaching of accurate U.S. racial history as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Their actions have caused considerable harm to students, families, and educators. In this article, I recount my experience teaching at a public university in my home state of Florida during the Trump-DeSantis era, engaging in antiracist public scholarship, and ultimately deciding it was time to “get out.”

The Black Faculty Recruitment and Retention at the University of Florida Oral History Project documented the experiences of prejudice and discrimination by current and former UF faculty and staff members. A total of 46 respondents participated, 23 male and 23 female, between the Summer and Fall semester of 2021. While several salient themes emerged from these interviews, this paper focuses primarily on the respondents’ experiences of silencing, prejudice, discrimination at UF, and anti-racist White allyship. Such experiences ranged from respondents being overburdened with the mentorship of Black and Brown students to overt episodes of prejudice and discrimination that drove faculty members to resign from their positions. For example, some respondents noted the silencing of dissenting Black voices at faculty meetings by White colleagues. Extant scholarship has documented similar themes, and the present study employs them to contextualize its findings. This paper concludes by emphasizing respondents’ advice for administrators to help mitigate the negative impact of prejudice and discrimination on Black faculty at UF and avoid tokenistic diversity initiatives that constitute ineffective diversity regimes.

Higher education has inextricably become a part of political platforms, specifically in calls for limits on social sciences and humanities perspectives in the classroom. As instructors, we have become front-line soldiers in this fight, managing hostile students and their parents, while struggling to remain authentic to our academic selves. In this article, I reflect on my authentic teaching, the COVID-19 pandemic in Florida, and the Stop WOKE Act, and offer a contribution on how we might change the course.

Teaching the sociology of race often relies on discussions organized by racial groups. This approach risks foreclosing opportunities for building intergroup alliances. I develop a coalitional pedagogy that promotes a shared political commitment across racial identities. I model one application through a relational analysis of three cases. By illuminating how racism afflicts different groups in patterned ways, instructors can build interest convergence and cultivate antiracist solidarity.
