Dana Roseman (Executive Educational Leadership), a doctoral candidate, and Maria B. Roberts (Educational Policy and Leadership) delivered a scholarly presentation and participated in panel discussions at the July 28-30, 2025 International Conference for Professors of Educational Leadership. Their presentation, entitled "Telling Herstory: The Preparation, Perspectives, and Persistence of Novice Black Women Principals," was attended by educational leaders from around the world. Employing the Sista Circle methodology, this qualitative case study investigated the experiences of novice Black women administrators within large urban school districts, focusing on their preparation through district and university leadership programs and their strategies for persistence. The study was framed through the theoretical lenses of Black Feminist Thought and Womanism (Collins, 1990). Roseman is scheduled to defend her dissertation on August 22. The panel discussions in which she and Roberts engaged addressed critical topics, including the integration of artificial intelligence in curriculum development, strategies for academic writing and publication, and navigating the tenure-track process in higher education, particularly for students and faculty from historically underrepresented groups.
