Professor | Attorney | Consultant | Coach
Angelique M. Davis is a professor, attorney, consultant, and coach dedicated to advancing racial justice through scholarship, education, and community engagement. As a Professor of Political Science and African and African American Studies at Seattle University, she brings her expertise to students and professionals alike. Her research centers on critical issues such as racial gaslighting, dehumanization, reparations, the socio-legal construction of race, and the evolution of white supremacy in the twenty-first century.
Exhale
Angelique is the creator and facilitator of Exhale Academic Writing Retreats, which offer scholars across all career stages a dedicated space to “exhale” and dive deeply into their writing. While most attendees have regular writing routines, these retreats provide the time and community to focus fully on their work. Each Exhale Retreat is tailored to organizational needs, incorporating guided writing sprints, visioning, and workshops to foster a supportive, productive environment.
Author
In addition to her retreats, Angelique is a published author. She co-authored Sparking Academic Joy with Dr. Rose Ernst, a guide to planning writing retreats like Exhale that foster creativity and purpose. Together, Angelique and Dr. Ernst are also working on Racial Gaslighting, a book examining the dynamics of racial gaslighting and providing tools for recognition and response. Her Racial Gaslighting Workshops extend this work by guiding attendees in identifying and addressing racial gaslighting in their environments.
Consultant
Angelique’s contributions extend beyond academia. As a coach and campus workshop facilitator with the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity, she supports faculty nationwide in navigating academic life with a focus on well-being and productivity.
Podcaster
Angelique recently launched The Fifth Dimension Racial Justice Podcast, where self-help meets racial justice, creating a space for listeners to explore racial liberation and build community.
Through her teaching, research, workshops, and podcast, Angelique is building a network of people dedicated to advancing racial justice and liberation, one project at a time.
