Exploring southern Black women's sexual messaging is important for appropriately contextualizing their sexual experiences. This study advances the literature on southern Black women's sexuality by analyzing the valence, content, and sources of sexual messages using #HotGirlScience. Twenty-five Black women's semi-s tructured interview responses were analyzed using thematic analysis. Thirteen women reported mixed messages, followed by positive messages (n = 10) and negative messages (n = 2). Seven major content themes were constructed: 1) sex is taboo, 2) sex is painful, harmful, and/or violent for Black women, 3) sex prioritizes male partner's pleasure, 4) consent and safety, 5) agency and sexual pleasure, 6) pleasure expansiveness, and 7) sexual communication.

Abstract: In this conceptual article, we theorize Title IX as colorblind policy that functions as the master’s tool. Specifically, we contend that due to Title IX’s colorblind approach and its roots in white feminism, its ability to eliminate sex discrimination in education is ineffective. We begin our argument by discussing the origins of Title IX and its race-based limitations. We then offer a brief history of the relationship between whiteness, education, and Black learners, and conclude with a critique of the usefulness of policies like Title IX and question their ability to create meaningful change.

Abstract: I am pleased to bring this special edition on Title IX and Black women to fruition for the 50th anniversary of Title IX. This legislation has empowered millions of women in sports and cultivated a more in-depth interest for women in the STEM fields. As I reflect on Title IX and other legislation designed to provide equal rights for women, I will also grapple with the new challenge to Title IX, the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization lawsuit which led to the Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade and women’s federally protected reproductive rights in June 2022. Though women have made strides in college sports participation, the threat to reproductive rights will disproportionately compromise low-income college-age women who strive to enhance their social economic class through education.
摘要:我很高兴在《教育法修正案第九条》颁布50周年之际推出《教育法修正案第九条》和黑人女性特别版。这项立法赋予了数百万女性参与体育运动的权力，并培养了女性对STEM领域更深入的兴趣。当我反思第九条和其他旨在为妇女提供平等权利的立法时，我也将努力应对第九条面临的新挑战，即多布斯诉杰克逊妇女健康组织(Dobbs v. Jackson women’s Health Organization)的诉讼，该诉讼导致最高法院在2022年6月推翻了罗伊诉韦德案和联邦保护的妇女生殖权利。尽管女性在参加大学体育运动方面取得了长足进步，但对生育权利的威胁将不成比例地损害那些努力通过教育提高社会经济地位的低收入大学适龄女性。

Abstract: Due to institutionalized discrimination, preexisting lower enrollment, and disproportionate disenrollment during the COVID-19 pandemic, Black male college students’ success has a disparately beleaguered trajectory. Disparities in access to academic programs, resources, and support may be due, in part, to those poorer trajectories but also are affected by university policies (or the lack thereof). These students have lower rates of successful recruitment, retention, and graduation. Because institutions that receive federal funding must operate in ways that are free of race-based and sex-based bias, these institutions are obligated to address Black male college students’ lagging numbers as well as any resulting, potentially hostile atmospheres that these students perceive. Failure to address these issues is a form of discrimination and may be tantamount to violations of Titles VI and IX. Racialized and gendered problems require racialized and gendered solutions. Proactive policy shifts and implications are discussed.

Reviewed by: 37 Words: Title IX and fifty years of fighting sex discrimination by Sherry Boschert Domale Dube Keys Boschert, Sherry. 37 Words: Title IX and fifty years of fighting sex discrimination. New York: The New Press, 2022. pp. 400. $26.09 (hardcover). ISBN: 1620975831. Title IX carries a singular meaning for many scholars, students, and people to whom it applies: it is known as the law that either governs gender equality in sports, prohibits peer-peer sexual violence, or regulates gender discrimination in employment (Rhoden, 2012). Rarely does it mean all three. Most books on the topic of Title IX reflect this tendency to focus on one particular aspect of the legislation which ultimately discourages a deeper understanding of its varied goals. Current volumes on Title IX that do attempt such wide coverage assume the form of government sources, traditional textbooks or multivolume caselaw texts and thus are mostly addressed to a limited readership (United States Department of Justice, 2012). In 37 Words: Title IX and Fifty Years of Fighting Sex Discrimination, Sherry Boschert celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of Title IX by examining its evolution in multiple domains over the last half century. In inviting journalistic prose, Boschert chronicles the long road to the current iteration of the legislation. Organized chronologically, the book serves as an enhanced timeline of major people and events in the history of Title IX, with occasional pauses to zero-in on the narratives of Bernice Sandler, a lead activist for the legislation, and other figures. In doing so, Boschert provides an expansive yet intimate account of key figures, feminist organizations, government and legal interventions, as well as nonviolent actions that helped improve the legislation and its implementation. Chapters 1–4 emphasize Bernice Sandler’s role in the development and passage of Title IX. After discovering President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Executive [End Page 183] Order No. 11375, which prohibits sex discrimination by federal contractors, Sandler connected with the U.S. Department of Labor and other feminist organizations to draft her first complaint against the University of Maryland and other institutions that refused to hire her and numerous qualified women. Chapter 3 examines the road to the passage of Title IX in 1972 and discusses the congressional subcommittee hearing for an earlier version of the bill and key figures of which include Rep. Edith Green of Oregon and Rep. Patsy Mink of Hawaii alongside Sandler and the human rights activist Pauli Murray, who all testified in support of the bill. Chapters 5 through 10 introduce two more supporting characters to the narrative of Title IX: Pamela Price and Diane Milutinovich. Price, a Black woman who was propositioned by a professor at Yale University in 1976, became the lead plaintiff in Price v. Yale, the case that helped to establish that sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination and thereby subject to Tit
37个字:第九章和五十年的性别歧视斗争由雪莉·博舍特Domale Dube Keys博舍特，雪莉。37个字:第九章和五十年的性别歧视斗争。纽约:新出版社，2022。400页。26.09美元(精装)。ISBN: 1620975831。第九条对许多学者、学生和它所适用的人来说有着独特的意义:它被称为管理体育运动中的性别平等、禁止同伴性暴力或规范就业中的性别歧视的法律(Rhoden, 2012)。很少有三者都是。关于第九条主题的大多数书籍反映了这种倾向，即关注立法的一个特定方面，最终阻碍了对其各种目标的更深入理解。目前试图如此广泛覆盖第九条的书籍采用政府来源、传统教科书或多卷判例法文本的形式，因此主要针对有限的读者(美国司法部，2012年)。在《37个词:第九修正案和反对性别歧视的50年》一书中，雪莉·博舍特通过回顾过去半个世纪以来第九修正案在多个领域的演变，来庆祝第九修正案颁布50周年。在引人入胜的新闻散文中，Boschert编年史地记录了该法案走向当前迭代的漫长道路。这本书按时间顺序组织，作为第九条历史上主要人物和事件的强化时间表，偶尔停顿一下，集中讲述了该立法的主要活动家伯尼斯·桑德勒(Bernice Sandler)和其他人物的叙述。在此过程中，Boschert对关键人物、女权主义组织、政府和法律干预以及非暴力行动进行了广泛而深入的描述，这些行动有助于改善立法及其实施。第1-4章强调了伯尼斯·桑德勒在第九条的发展和通过中的作用。在发现林登·约翰逊总统的第11375号行政命令禁止联邦承包商的性别歧视后，桑德勒与美国劳工部和其他女权主义组织联系，起草了她的第一份投诉，反对马里兰大学和其他拒绝雇佣她和众多合格女性的机构。第三章考察了1972年通过《第九条》的途径，并讨论了该法案早期版本的国会小组委员会听证会，其中的关键人物包括俄勒冈州众议员伊迪丝·格林和夏威夷州众议员帕齐·明克，以及桑德勒和人权活动家保利·默里，他们都作证支持该法案。第五章到第十章介绍了第九章的两个配角:帕梅拉·普莱斯和黛安·米卢蒂诺维奇。普莱斯是一名黑人女性，1976年曾被耶鲁大学(Yale University)的一名教授猥亵，她成为普莱斯诉耶鲁大学(Price v. Yale)案的主要原告，该案帮助确立了性骚扰是一种性别歧视，因此受《教育法修正案第九条》(Title IX)的约束。然后，博舍特揭示了罗纳德·里根政府是如何发动对民权和反歧视措施的雪崩式攻击的，这些措施对后来的总统政府产生了持久的影响。第八章重点关注与性侵犯和性骚扰有关的法庭案件，这些案件确定了第九条规定的适当诉讼理由，包括最高法院的两个案件，Gebser和Davis，后者讲述了一个年轻黑人女孩遭受同龄人性骚扰的经历。第9章和第10章转向体育领域的问题，叙述了由黛安·米卢蒂诺维奇(Diane Milutinovich)领导的弗雷斯诺州立大学(Fresno State)在就业歧视和球员性骚扰方面为实施第九条而进行的斗争，并解释了这些努力如何最终导致三名女教练起诉并赢得了对该机构的诉讼。在第11章到第15章中，博舍特认为，近几十年来，新的第九条活动家在这个问题上发挥了关键作用。这一部分从瓦加特维·万朱基的故事开始，她是一名黑人女性，在塔夫茨大学遭受性侵犯，在经历了制度背叛后转向激进主义。博舍特还回来讨论耶鲁大学，这一次谈到了亚历山德拉·布罗茨基(Alexandra Brodsky)和耶鲁大学以外的其他学生的行动主义，他们的行动导致了Know Your IX的成立，这是一个为全国学生幸存者提供资源的组织。章……

Abstract: This empirical research paper is a study of agency and liberatory practices for Black women’s basketball players within a predominantly White institution (PWI) of higher education. Central to this study is the exploration of the dynamics surrounding Black labor in sport, particularly how the regulation and confinement of the body, mind, and spirit of Black women’s basketball players allows for their continued exploitation by the institution of sport in U.S. higher education. This paper uses an Afrocentric feminist epistemology to design and execute a participatory study that flips the proverbial script on student-athlete research by empowering Black student-athletes to critically evaluate their own lived experiences while simultaneously exploring ways of disrupting the tools of regulation currently confining their agency and autonomy. The site of data collection was also leveraged as a space for participants to identify opportunities to secure and exercise agency and bodily autonomy in real time—a process fellow PAR scholars refer to as the design serving as the intervention. In doing so, this paper highlights both how the regulation and control of Black women’s basketball is inextricably linked to power, race and gender, and identifies where they can collectively build towards increased freedoms.

Abstract: This article explores the campus climate of a Historically Black University in the Southeastern United States by providing an overview of the campus’ sexual assault policy and administrators’ perceptions of the climate surrounding sexual assault on the campus. The research question that guided this study is: How does institutional context shape the policy development and implementation of campus sexual assault policy at an HBCU? The research design consists of semi-structured interviews with six administrators that were analyzed using Counterstory. The significance of this study is to contribute to the body of research which exists about campus sexual assault policies at HBCUs. The findings of this study discuss how the institution views their stance on campus sexual assault policy. This study provides administrators with information that can assist in the development and implementation of campus sexual assault policy.

Abstract: We are currently living in a digital age where social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, and TikTok have made it easier to target one’s partner. Between 6% and 39% of college students report being stalked since entering college (SPARC, 2017). When such intimidation occurs on campus, many students of color, particularly African American students have been hesitant to notify the Title IX Office. This research assessed students’ perceptions of and experiences with on-campus dating violence and stalking to better describe its prevalence. The study reports on a non-probability quantitative sample of 421 questionnaires, and a qualitative sample of fifteen one-on-one in-depth interviews. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) results yielded differences in students’ experiences with dating violence and stalking. More attention should be spent on dating violence, stalking, stalking laws, the Title IX process, available resources, and school policies. Additionally, prevention efforts such as assistance with academic housing accommodations, referrals to ensure the safety and security of the victim/survivor, and the implementation of a Campus Climate Survey should be considered. Such techniques will aid to create and evaluate effective strategies when addressing dating violence and stalking on their campuses.

Such techniques will aid to create and evaluate effective strategies when addressing dating violence and stalking on their campuses.","PeriodicalId":73626,"journal":{"name":"Journal of black sexuality and relationships","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135194625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract: Title IX legislation concerning sports accessibility is marginalized for Black female youth and women. Current legislation fails to acknowledge the intersectional basis of the needs and participation of Black female youth and women as it does for gender alone. Systematic environmental factors, e.g., racism, have resulted in environmental injustices. In the context of the Critical Race Theory Doctrine of Intersectionality, there is an attempt to incorporate the real-life experiences of an outsider group—in this case, Black women—into equitable sports opportunities, which this discourse explores in the context of Title IX, situating Black women’s experiences in race and gender.
