ABSTRACT

In 1986, you published “Learning from the Outsider- Within: The Sociological Significance of Black Feminist Thought” to argue that Black women are marginalized within academia. 1 Nearly 14 years later, in 2009, you were elected as the first Black woman president of the American Sociological Association, and Black Feminist Thought has over twenty thousand citations. In what ways do you see the marginalization of Black women still manifest in sociology today?
