ABSTRACT
Beauboeuf-Lafontant suggested Black women faculty often embody a womanist caring framework that can be understood by three dominant characteristics: (1) an embrace of the maternal, (2) political clarity, and (3) an ethic of risk. We assert the multidimensionality of Black women scholars within these pedagogical characteristics gives insight into the differences experienced in praxis for Black women social foundation educators, compared to their white counterparts. Through the use of duo-ethnography and a sista circle methodology, authors seek to amplify the voices of Black women social foundations educators as they navigate a womanist caring framework amidst the current societal efforts for heightened consciousness. Authors recount their experiences as Black women educators in the field of Social Foundations of Education to create a hybrid narrative about the realities present within teaching courses that speak of systemic and structural inequities in education.
