Featured: Safeguarding Black Women Educators’ Mental Health – Johnson, Castillo, Nagthall & Negussie (Inside Higher Education, 2024)

Frameworks and constructs:

ECP framework

Dr. Johnson’s Experience, Context & Perspective (ECP) Framework is highlighted within The International Journal of Diversity in Education.

Dr. Johnson notes that having a lucid understanding of the relationship between advocacy and social justice, an awareness of privilege and a focus on J.E.D.I. standards, allows for an introspective approach to altruism.

Emotional Currency

The emotional toll we exert, (the “withdrawal” that we make), to support others who feel they have no place to turn, is an uncompensated transaction. See more in Higher Education Digest

Invisible Labor

The invisible labor carried out by many employees of an organization (both internal and external to the education genre) that constitute mentorship, guidance, emotional support, additional projects, de facto leadership efforts and overall duties that are not a part of their job description, but that are deemed essential by those seeking said employee’s support.
