Cultural Taxation and Intersectionality: A Phenomenological Examination of Service for Tenured Latina Faculty in Departments of Educational Leadership
Elizabeth Cecilia Apodaca
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, New Mexico State University
The purpose of this study was to understand the scope of service work performed by tenured Latina faculty in departments of educational leadership in relation to their faculty work. By definition, cultural taxation is experienced by Faculty of Color when they are expected to do more or different service work because of their race/ethnicity. The integrated frameworks of cultural taxation and Critical Race Feminism were used in the design and interpret the findings. Data was gathered from three primary sources: a demographic questionnaire, individual interviews with sixteen Latinas in tenured faculty positions across the country, and the researcher's reflective journal. Through qualitative phenomenological analysis, three themes emerged: service for Latina faculty changes after tenure and over time; a primary focus of tenured Latina faculty service was creating support systems for and with other people of color in the Academy, in particular other Latinx students and faculty; and service is gendered, with woman of color doing more and different work than men, even men of color. This study helps fill a void in the research available related to Latina faculty in the United States. It offers insights into faculty service for other minoritized populations wanting to enter the professoriate, and suggestions for change in departments of educational leadership and higher education systems.
