The fullness of Black students' experiences in college has yet to be archived. The same can be said of Black people broadly, whose existence has long been reduced by and to what is observable, by systems of power and those at the helm.

Tessa Lukkien; Trishna Chauhan; Lilian Otaye-Ebede – British Educational Research Journal, 2025
Extant research has focused on the barriers faced by minority faculty in academia.
