Description: In recent decades, American universities have begun to tout the "diversity" of their faculty and student bodies. But what kinds of diversity are being championed, and what kinds are being neglected? Is diversity enough to solve the structural inequalities that plague our universities? And how might we articulate the value of diversity?Transforming the Academybegins to answer these questions.
Synopsis: In recent decades, American universities have begun to tout the """"diversity"""" of their faculty and student bodies. But what kinds of diversity are being championed in their admissions and hiring practices, and what kinds are being neglected? Is diversity enough to solve the structural inequalities that plague our universities? And how might we articulate the value of diversity in the first place?Transforming the Academybegins to answer these questions by bringing together a mix of faculty - male and female, cisgender and queer, immigrant and native-born, tenured and contingent, white, black, multiracial, and other - from public and private universities across the United States. Whether describing contentious power dynamics within their classrooms or recounting protests that occurred on their campuses, the book's contributors offer bracingly honest inside accounts of both the conflicts and the learning experiences that can emerge from being a representative of diversity.The collection's authors are united by their commitment to an ideal of the American university as an inclusive and transformative space, one where students from all backgrounds can simultaneously feel intellectually challenged and personally supported. YetTransforming the Academyalso offers a wide range of perspectives on how to best achieve these goals, a diversity of opinion that is sure to inspire lively debate.
