This article centers the experiences of women of color in academia by placing my narrative alongside literature about shapeshifters/werewolves and racism and sexism in the academy. I use my narratives as a queer feminist of color in the academy to draw parallels between these experiences to explicate how women of color are constructed as monstrous Others. Through the performative rendering and naming of this parallel or metaphor the author hopes to evocatively implicate and draw readers into action or spaces of resistance.
