Abstract: Black undergraduate women who attend a HPWI are impacted by racist patriarchy and Black patriarchy. To examine patriarchies across campus, I explored unmarked spaces on campus which are generic, white spaces; and racially marked spaces, such as the Black Student Center. To better understand how racist patriarchy and Black patriarchy shape Black women's college experiences, I utilized qualitative methods and an ethnography to center their experiences of discrimination and marginalization. Using a critical race feminism framework, I interviewed 25 Black undergraduate women who attended a state-flagship university in the Mid-Southern region of the US and conducted ethnographic fieldwork on campus. The findings show that Black women experienced overt racial hostility from white males in unmarked spaces on campus, while also experiencing objectification and social subordination from Black men in marked spaces. My findings demonstrate that HPWI's are patriarchal structures that create gendered racial violence against Black women.
