Product Description
Review
"This is a compelling volume of the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of faculty of color. It is a must read for anyone who is interested in the inner workings of the academy and its disjunction between platitudes and concrete actions."
—William B. Harvey, Vice President and Chief Officer for Diversity and Equity, University of Virginia
—William B. Harvey, Vice President and Chief Officer for Diversity and Equity, University of Virginia
"This book, which gives voice to the shared experiences of faculty of color in predominantly white colleges and universities, is required reading for those who challenge the continued need for affirmative action and a level 'playing field.' Each story is compelling, and each reflects just how much work remains to be done."
—Paulette Granberry Russell, J.D., Senior Advisor to the President for Diversity, Michigan State University
Product Description
Combining an overview of current research literature and 23 engaging narratives, Faculty of Color invites deeper dialogue on the experiences of faculty of color teaching in predominantly white institutions. By raising issues for commentary and investigation, the book challenges its readers to adopt effective strategies for the recruitment and retention of faculty of color in higher education.
The authors represent a variety of disciplines and share firsthand experiences that range from teaching, recruitment, research, mentoring, institutional climate, and administration, to relationships with colleagues as well as students. Through their stories, they are able to offer useful insights into
- Teaching styles and how they affect promotion decisions
- The impact of mentoring relationships
- Collegiality in the campus and university setting
- Separating self-identity from group membership
- Managing service activities
- Understanding and dealing with racism
Faculty of Color is intended for senior administrators and policymakers, faculty development professionals, current faculty, and future faculty of color who are contemplating academia. Each chapter offers a variety of recommendations designed to guide predominantly white colleges and universities in working to ensure that their institutions continue to change in substantive ways.
