The Truly Diverse Faculty: New Dialogues in American Higher Education

The Truly Diverse Faculty: New Dialogues in American Higher Education Book Cover

“Many universities in the 21st century claim ‘diversity’ as a core value, but fall short in transforming institutional practices. The disparity between what universities claim as a value and what they accomplish in reality creates a labyrinth of barriers, challenges, and extra burdens that junior faculty of color must negotiate, often at great personal and professional risk. This volume addresses these obstacles, first by foregrounding essays written by junior faculty of color and second by pairing each essay with commentary by senior university administrators.”
