11: Reframing the "Problem" Woman of Color in the Higher Ed Workplace

Have you ever seen the diagram that is entitled “The ‘Problem’ Woman of Colour in the Workplace?” It’s a simple one-page infographic that gets shared frequently on social media, and it’s also one that seems to have a lot of resonance in the current moment.For this eleventh episode of the Rise with Clarity Podcast, I want to spend some time discussing this diagram as well as some of its implications for women of color faculty like you, especially as you navigate challenges on the tenure track and work environments that may be less than supportive.For those of you who are not familiar with the "'Problem' WOC" diagram, I encourage you to check out the link that I provide in the transcript for this episode. You can find that and more resources for WOC faculty at RisewithClarity.com/11. Dr. Katherine Lee is a Higher Ed Coach and Career Strategist and a former tenured professor at an R1 university. She helps women of color faculty to manage the tenure track, navigate politics, and take the next steps to advance their careers.
