My doctoral research proposes to investigate the lives of Black female activists in higher education spaces. My aim is threefold. First, I seek to explore the lived experiences of Black women scholars, students and staff who engage in HE based activist work in the UK and US, particularly during rising precarity and populism in both countries. Second, I hope to uncover how they view themselves as political actors within the nation-state, acknowledging the violence of the spaces they are navigating. Thirdly, I seek to better understand their political engagements with 'elite' HE institutions in both nation-states as a way of comprehending their oppressive features. I will use a combination of qualitative research methods: archival research and photo-elicitation interviews. The former will allow me to historicise my work and ground it in longstanding institutional tensions. The latter will allow me to visualise and probe the battlescapes my participants navigate.

我的博士研究计划调查黑人女性活动家在高等教育空间的生活。我的目标有三个。首先，我试图探索黑人女学者，学生和工作人员谁在英国和美国从事他为基础的活动家的工作，特别是在上升的不稳定性和民粹主义在这两个国家的生活经验。其次，我希望揭示他们如何将自己视为民族国家内的政治行为者，承认他们所航行的空间的暴力。第三，我试图更好地了解他们的政治参与与“精英”高等教育机构在两个民族国家的理解他们的压迫性功能的一种方式。我将使用定性研究方法的组合：档案研究和照片启发式访谈。前者将允许我将我的工作历史化，并将其置于长期存在的制度紧张之中。后者将允许我可视化和探测我的参与者导航的战斗场景。
