The journey of a doctoral degree is no mean feat. Those inclined to embark on this journey do so at the risk of discrimination amid isolation and loneliness. As you have read in the essays in this part, the void created by higher education institutions is filled by Black- led academic support groups and networks. They do this in addition to undertaking the highest academic challenge of their careers, with minimal support from the institutions themselves.
