Guided by intersectionality, the article explores the ways in which multiple forms of inequality are perpetuated within academia through my own lived experiences. It also explores the ways in which I, as a WoC and an early career academic (ECA), learned to navigate the intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, and motherhood amid the pandemic.

The narratives capture how we, as five MotherScholars, negotiated between maternal and academic roles under pandemic conditions, ultimately unveiling our MotherScholar identity.

As women of color at a predominantly White institution we have engaged in duoethnography to analyze and understand these experiences, and to ask whether the COVID–19 pandemic and #BlackLivesMatter protests of 2020 have influenced how we navigate those experiences. Our work is guided by theories of congruence, notions of (in)visibility, and previous autoethnographic work by women professors of color. In our dialogic work we have come to understand how our ideas and our institution's ideas of diversity and justice work are misaligned. In this paper we share how these misalignments existed before 2020 and how they have shifted in the era of COVID–19 and #BlackLivesMatter. We hope this work can support our Black and Brown women colleagues and broader human resources development efforts for supporting diversity and justice in higher education and adult education.","PeriodicalId":43405,"journal":{"name":"New Horizons in Adult Education and Human Resource Development","volume":"41 1","pages":"5 - 16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87349354","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}

By using their own personal stories, the authors intend this text to “serve as an invitation to open up for possible connections and a curiosity” (p. xxiv) regarding autoethnography and qualitative inquiry as a discipline, respected methodology, and as a source for systemic justice. The authors Alec Grant, critical autoethnographic researcher from the United Kingdom, and Trude Klevan, then PhD Candidate and social work practitioner from Norway, engage in dialogic autoethnographic discourse, an approach that comprises of storytelling and reflec-tive conversations through email correspondences. The text examines Klevan’s progression through her PhD thesis as well as Klevan’s and Grant’s personal and professional friendship.

Grenier, Dorothy Kemp","doi":"10.1002/nha3.20365","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/nha3.20365","url":null,"abstract":"In 2020 governments and their leaders across the globe took action to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus by implementing voluntary and mandatory quarantines, lockdowns, and social isolation, closing schools and nonessential workplaces, preventing groups from gathering, and limiting or stopping international travel (Anderson et al., 2020). In some cases, more extreme and opportunistic measures were used by governments, such as tracking bracelets in Hong Kong (Strielkowski, 2020), the Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán pushing through a law to permanently sideline parliament to rule by decree (Amat et al., 2020), and the Trump administration issuing an order suspending equal opportunity requirements (US Department of Labor, 2020). In homes and workplaces, the pandemic impacted men and women, but both new and existing gender inequalities that disproportionately affected women came to bear. The pandemic took a heavier toll on the psychological, as well as physical health of women. For example, in Spain, Hungary, and Israel women described experiencing a higher degree of stress and anxiety when compared to men at the beginning of the pandemic (Ausín et al., 2021; Horesh et al., 2020; Szabo et al., 2020). It also led to greater domestic obligations (Collins et al., 2021), and with schools closed or going to virtual formats, women tended to take over more homeschooling duties (Carlson et al., 2021). This resulted, in the case of UK women, in “unbridled role conflict” (Adisa et al., 2021, p. 241) as their work and domestic roles interfered with each other, resulting in tension and imbalance between demands. There is considerable, growing evidence that COVID-19 has changed academic work globally with women being more negatively impacted overall when compared to men (Pereira, 2021). Deryugina et al. (2021) and others (e.g., Aldossari & Chaudhry, 2021; Minello et al., 2020) explain that all academics, regardless of gender, reported escalations in childcare and housework; however, not surprisingly, women academics faced significantly larger increases than their male counterparts. And women with children reported less time for research when compared to men academics with children or childless academics (Minello et al., 2020). This came at a time when women already faced deterrents to continued professional development (Chuang, 2015), and Black women, in particular, faced challenges in predominantly White higher education institutions (Dowdy, 2008). While most colleges and universities did little to support faculty and staff in the new reality of emergency online teaching and advising, others offered extensions of the tenure clock, providing the option to forgo student evaluations, and even funding personal internet connections (The Chronicle of Higher Education, 2020). For some, the pandemic even provided a time of “feverish productivity” in academic research (Plakhotnik, 2021, p. 2).
