Produktinformationen zu „The Truly Diverse Faculty / Future of Minority Studies (PDF)“
Many universities in the twenty-first 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. These two university constituencies play crucial roles in diversifying the academy, but rarely have an opportunity to candidly engage in dialogue. This volume harnesses the untapped collective knowledge in these constituencies, revealing how diversity claims, when poorly conceived and under-actualized, impact the university as an intellectual work environment and as a social filter for innovative ideas.

Pressezitat
"The Truly Diverse Faculty will be the 'go to' book for university leaders who aspire to create, nurture, and sustain a diverse faculty but who too frequently fail to grasp what that goal requires of our higher education institutions. It gives administrators and faculty personnel committees a compelling analysis of what often goes awry when faculty newcomers to the professoriate are hired and expected to simply fit in with existing, narrow standards of excellence. It provides powerful examples of institutional failures when common diversity narratives convey that faculty of color strive for success but fall short, not because of normative and procedural shortcomings of institutions but because of their own weaknesses. Fortunately, this book also offers equally powerful examples of institutional successes approaches to creating a truly diverse faculty that work. Importantly, although geared to a higher education audience, this book has much to offer to other institutions that also must diversify to represent and connect with increasingly diverse clients, customers, and colleagues." - Patricia Gurin, Nancy Cantor Distinguished University Professor Emerita of Psychology and Women's Studies, Faculty Associate, Research Center for Group Dynamics, Institute for Social Research, and Director of Research, Program on Intergroup Relations, University of Michigan, USA
