The Silencing of Black Female Students in the Educational Discourses ofthe Greater Toronto Area  \nRhonda C. George York University  \nAbstract  \nThis article grapples with the ways in which Black female students tend to be obscured from the discourses around the educational experiences and outcomes of Black students in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) . I employ intersectionality as a theoretical frame, using content analysis and case study approaches to elucidate the mechanics of how these absences and silences persist in the national, provincial, and local contexts in which they occur. Despite the necessity and validity of research on the various educational experiences of Black GTA students, I find that the research tends to focus primarily on Black males, often using their narratives to define the experiences of all Black students in the region. I also find that it is in the very methodological questions and applications of those methodological approaches, that this exclusion of Black female students takes place, creating and maintaining gaps and silences in the scholarship,  \nCanadian Journal of Education / Revue canadienne de l’éducation 43:1 (2020)©2020 Canadian Society for the Study of Education/ Société canadienne pour l’étude de l’éducation  \n[www.cje-rce.ca](www.cje-rce.ca)  \nresulting in the absence of vital sociological knowledge. The implications and potential negative effects of the normalization and perpetuation of this exclusion on Black female students and their mental and physical well-being is also explored. I conclude by calling for reflexivity and a rethinking of current methodological approaches in this context in order incite more inclusive and fulsome engagement with the educational experiences of Black female students.  \nKeywords: intersectionality, race, education, Black female students, Greater Toronto Area, sociology of education, research methodology  \nRésumé  \nCet article examine les façons que les étudiantes noires ont tendance à être exclu de les discoures en ce qui concerne les expériences éducatives et les résultats des étudiants noirs dans la région du Grand Toronto (GT). J’utilise l’intersectionnalité comme cadre théorique, en utilisant des approches d’analyse de contenu et d’études de pour élucider le mécanismede la persistance de ces absences et de ces silences dans les contextes nationales, provinciales et locales. Malgré la nécessité et la validité de la recherche sur les diverses expériences éducatives des étudiants noirs de la région du Grand Toronto, je constate que la recherche a tendance à se concentrer principalement sur les hommes noirs, utilisant souvent leurs récits pour définir les expériences de tous les étudiants noirs de la région. Je trouve également que c’est dans les questions méthodologiques et les applications mêmes de ces approches méthodologiques que se produit cette exclusion des étudiantes noires, créant et maintenant des lacunes et des silences dans la recherche scolaire, ce qui entraîne l’absence de connaissances sociologiques essentielles dans ce contexte. Les implications et les effetsnégatifs potentiels de la normalisation et de la perpétuation de cette exclusion sur les étudiantes noires et sur leur bien-être mental et physique sont également explorés. Je conclusen appelant à la réflexivité et à la révision des approches méthodologiques actuelles dans ce contexte afin d’encourager un engagement plus inclusif et plus complet dans les expériences éducatives des étudiant(e)s noir(e)s.  \nMots-clés : intersectionnalité, race, éducation, les étudiantes noires, Grand Toronto, la sociologie de l’éducation, méthodologie de recherche  \nCanadian Journal of Education / Revue canadienne de l’éducation 43:1 (2020) [www.cje-rce.ca](www.cje-rce.ca)  \nIntroduction  \nThis article was in part provoked by my viewing of broadcaster, writer, and playwright Amanda Parris’s 2017 play The Other Side of the Game, a brilliant and insightful artistic piece set in contempor","cbCaiv02Rq2qgY6Q","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv02Rq2qgY6Q","pdf",386961,27,"English","# Introduction\n## Abstract\n## Keywords\n## Résumé\n## Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the article focus on regarding Black female students in the GTA?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on how Black female students are silenced or made absent within educational discourses that shape understandings of Black students’ experiences and outcomes in the Greater Toronto Area.\"},{\"question\":\"What theoretical and research approaches does the article use?\",\"answer\":\"The article uses intersectionality as a theoretical frame and applies content analysis and case study approaches to examine how those silences persist across contexts.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the article argue that Black female students remain excluded from the scholarship?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that research methodology and the application of methodological approaches often exclude Black female students, while scholarship concentrates on Black males and their narratives to define experiences for all Black students.\"}]","Holding It Down? - The Silencing of Black Female Students in the Educational Discourses of the Greater Toronto Area | PDF",1792082340,68]
