Misogynoir is a term that describes the unique intersection of misogyny and racism that Black women face. Coined by scholar Moya Bailey, it highlights how societal attitudes towards Black women are shaped by both their gender and race, leading to a distinct form of discrimination that is different from the experiences of white women and Black men.
Today we speak to Dr. Moya Bailey about her misogynoir research. A professor at Northwestern University, founder of the Digital Apothecary, and co-founder of the Black Feminist Health Science Studies Collective, her work focuses on marginalized groups’ use of digital media to promote social justice. She has a forthcoming documentary, Misogynoir in Medicine, which she produced and directed.
