Liberation in Higher Education introduces and expands on the notion of
Endarkened Feminist Epistemology (EFE) based on a qualitative case
study of Cynthia B. Dillard and her students as well as the white
researcher and author, Sarah Militz-Frielink, as she became
transformed through her research in higher education. Dillard, who
created EFE as a teaching and research paradigm in 2000, grounded it
in several frameworks: Black feminist thought, standpoint theory, the
tenets of African American spirituality, and the work of Parker J.
Palmer on non-religious spirituality in education. The book delves
into EFE’s origins and students’ meaning-making experiences with
EFE—including related themes such as healing, identity development,
cultural histories, spirituality, and the evolution of the phenomenon
over time. This book also includes a chapter in which Militz-Frielink
applies EFE as a methodology to herself, which is one of the
recommended practices of EFE as a research tool. Liberation in Higher
Education concludes with implications and recommendations for
practitioners, particularly white practitioners in higher education
who work with African American students in predominantly white
institutions.
