The purpose of this dissertation is to explore how Black women doctoral students describe and make meaning of their scholarly identities. Additionally, this study illustrates the negotiations Black women doctoral students make in the maintenance of their scholarly personas and their influence on their doctoral socialization experiences. Using Black feminism as a paradigm, this qualitative storytelling study gathered stories from 9 Black women doctoral students in pursuit of the primary research question: How do Black women doctoral students describe and make meaning of their scholarly identities? Findings offer new approaches to policy and practice to strengthen Black women doctoral students' scholarly identities, graduate socialization, and post-graduate career opportunities.
