However, the space of the university and the prescriptions of academia often reflect colonial logics and engage in complex re-enactments or perpetuations of colonial erasure of Black female bodies, voices, and practices. Using our shared experiences of engaging Ubuntu at the Ubuntu Dialogues conference in Stellenbosch, South Africa, we experiment with the process of writing as a form of disruptive academic praxis of care work informed by spirituality, creative expression, and spatial embodiment. We engage in collective reflexiveness and writing on the exclusion of care practice in higher education and how Black feminists’ care subverts these subtle and overt forms of erasure of Black knowledge, contributions, work, practice, and intellectual thinking. Furthermore, a Black feminist ethics and poesis of care attends to the physical ableist heteronormative, patriarchal space that requires complicity in colonial violences. We show that inserting our voices and bodies into the work at the intersection of care, praxis, and knowledge generation is a collaborative act of care cultivation done by Black women for Black women and benefitting all peoples/bodies. Our reflective essay foregrounds care at the contours of a Black feminist conception of Ubuntu.","PeriodicalId":44530,"journal":{"name":"AGENDA","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49513626","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}

Zerai","doi":"10.1080/10130950.2023.2225950","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10130950.2023.2225950","url":null,"abstract":"abstract While several studies detail the experiences of university students with racial and gender harassment, bullying, and microaggressions, few explore these phenomena among Black women faculty members in higher education transnationally. This article makes a novel contribution by examining Black women’s agentic responses to marginalising experiences in higher education. Black women’s extraordinary efforts to succeed in westernised universities built on the subjugation of and from the labour of their ancestors, awareness-raising about their negative experiences, and strategies to change colleagues’ behaviours defy ‘business as usual’ in higher education. Neoliberalism, Gender and Curriculum Transformation in Higher Education is a multi-site project led by Professor Relebohile Moletsane (Moletsane & Mabokela 2019), who partners with Black women to support their academic and scholarly success. This article reviews results of a survey administered to participants to document their experiences and explore the interventions designed by Moletsane’s Feminist Decoloniality as Care (FEMDAC) investigators at universities in South Africa and America. This article describes four ways in which researchers effectively operationalise feminist decoloniality as care, by: 1) truth-telling about the impact of neoliberal institutions on the daily lives of Black women academics; 2) locating the source of academic woundedness not solely in the individual behaviours of bad actors but in systemic oppression; 3) creating opportunities for women to see the similarities in their experiences transnationally and to recognise ways in which institutional structures marginalise them; and 4) mutual support, a team mentoring approach, and reproducing Black excellence.","PeriodicalId":44530,"journal":{"name":"AGENDA","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43841395","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}

The aim of this research is to understand the motivations underlying individuals' actions in shaping a child's character during the Covid-19 era through Islamic education. The current study employs a quantitative methodology utilizing a survey model and written questionnaires. The survey used for this research was conducted online. The results of this study indicate that students' self-confidence increases when teachers use dolls to engage children during the Covid-19 era in the learning process. The findings of this research clearly demonstrate that the support provided by parental parenting styles to teachers in the process of Islamic education in the classroom greatly enhances students' achievements. Therefore, the conclusion of this research is limited to examining the role of youth in the Covid-19 era within Islamic education. Thus, the researcher hopes that future researchers can investigate the role of youth in the Covid-19 era, incorporating the findings of this research into other fields of study.","PeriodicalId":44530,"journal":{"name":"AGENDA","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136364186","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}
