Black women are earning more than 65% of the doctoral degrees awarded to Blacks, yet they remain dissatisfied and isolated in their programs (Shavers & Moore, 2014, p. 15). Research shows that Black women experience graduate school negatively on almost every level. While the literature suggests that the negative experiences of Black women continue to go unnoticed by faculty and administrators, they are taking control of their situations by developing counterspaces to ensure their successful completion of their programs. A counterspace is a "safe space that counters discrimination and builds a supportive campus climate for marginalized students" (Garcia, 2011, p. 11).

520 $a Black women are earning more than 65% of the doctoral degrees awarded to Blacks, yet they remain dissatisfied and isolated in their programs (Shavers & Moore, 2014, p. 15). Research shows that Black women experience graduate school negatively on almost every level. While the literature suggests that the negative experiences of Black women continue to go unnoticed by faculty and administrators, they are taking control of their situations by developing counterspaces to ensure their successful completion of their programs. A counterspace is a "safe space that counters discrimination and builds a supportive campus climate for marginalized students" (Garcia, 2011, p. 11).
520 $a This qualitative study used Black Feminist Thought and Narrative Inquiry to understand how Black women experience graduate school and how those experiences promote the development of and participation in counterspaces. The study participants included four Black women enrolled in a doctoral program in the school of education at an institution located in the Northeast. All the women had prior graduate school experience, which was described as positive and supportive. They expected their doctoral experiences to be comparable to their prior graduate experiences; however, the women's experiences were extremely different in the doctoral program. The study exposed a lack of proper advisement, mentoring, and same race faculty. As a result, this investigation revealed that counterspace is an essential component to the successful completion of doctoral programs for Black women. It also revealed that the failure of formal institutional structures creates the need for counterspaces for Black women pursuing doctorates. This study exposed the importance of the following areas for promoting Black women's success in doctoral programs: advising and mentoring, faculty diversity, recognition of race and gender, and counterspace development.
