You’re Not Burnt Out: They are Setting You on Fire: Addressing Institutional Responses to the Duel American Pandemics

This themed issue is a collection of novel scholarship that focuses on Black womxn academics who are navigating the pressures of the academy amidst institutional racism compounded by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The issue provides cutting-edge research to assist higher education administrators and university stakeholders in understanding how to support Black womxn in their quest to continue thriving and surviving in the academy. The goal of this issue is to help our academic sisters realize that the feeling of being burned out is not their fault, but rather a result of institutional forces, and to find ways to become flame resistant.
