**New Publication**

In our latest publication, "Protecting Racial Justice Advocates from the Harms of Institutional Betrayal at Predominantly White Institutions," authors Christin Mujica, Taylen Day, Evan Hinchliffe, David C. Stanley Jr., PhD, and Ana Bridges discuss the many challenges faced by racial justice advocates at PWIs. They argue that while advocacy to dismantle racism is meaningful and may promote resilience, it may also expose people to institutional betrayal and subsequently additional harms such as racial trauma, discrimination, exclusion, and burnout.

This article is part of our special issue on Institutional Betrayal and Academic Trauma.

In our latest publication, "Becoming Invisible: Resistance Strategies Among Black women Activists in Higher Education," authors @Taylorgeyton, @LaineySevillano, @connaught_k, and Fatima Mabrouk examine unequal pathways to tenure and graduation, challenging campus climates, harsher critique, underrepresentation, and microaggressions faced by Black women in institutions of higher education. They show that despite consistent and perpetual misrepresentations by the media and ongoing cultural alienation within academic communities, Black women continue to carve out space for themselves, as learners, educators, and resistors within the academy. Situated within a critical race feminist framework, the authors explore Black women activists’ strategic use of silence as a form of resistance against gendered racism and epistemic violence in postsecondary institutions. Drawing from semi-structured interviews they uncover the deliberate ways in which Black women resist oppressive structures within academia and illuminate the agency and resilience of Black women activists and contribute to a broader dialogue on social justice and equity within higher education. This article is part of our special issue on Institutional Betrayal and Academic Trauma. #Institutionalbetrayal #academictrauma #equityinSTEM #equityinhighered #racialjustice #criticalracefeminisms

We took the ADVANCE Journal to @nwsa Conference in Detroit and had the most generative time connecting with other feminist publishers, meeting scholars from across the disciplinary spectrum, and introducing our journal to folks doing important work at the intersections of STEM, gender studies, and equity in higher education. We strategized about how to keep expanding open-access publishing and to continue holding space for multiple forms of knowledges.
