Book Title: Presumed Incompetent: The Intersections of Race and Class for Women in Academia
Author: Gutierrez y Muhs et al.
Selection Statement:
I selected Presumed Incompetent because it served as instrumental encouragement and confirmation that I was not alone in my experiences during the tenure journey. Specifically, the Women of Color academics boldly named gendered racism and structural inequities as challenges and how they not only survived but thrived and advanced through the professorial ranks. I hope Presumed Incompetent continues to be a beacon of light and source of strength for Women of Color academics.
