DUKE, Dawn. The Black Studies Program at the University of Tennessee: Perspectives from an Ex-Program Director. Educação. UNISINOS [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.1, pp.8-20. Epub 18-Jun-2019. ISSN 2177-6210. https://doi.org/10.4013/edu.2019.231.01.
This text addresses the dilemmas of an afrodescendant administrator, head of a black curriculum at one of the major universities in the southern United States. The text betrays the benefits, alliances and challenges of experience, alongside a description of the program, mainly the barriers to its development and expansion. The text describes the administrative power structure at the University of Tennessee Knoxville; serves as a testament to my career as Director of the African and African-American Studies Program from 2011 to 2016; and offers a general discussion of the challenges of black women in academia, in the course of their careers.
