Offers insight into race-based disparities in higher education and practical tools for advancing racial equity on college and university campuses.
The current socio-political moment-rife with racial tensions and overt bigotry-has exacerbated longstanding racial inequities in higher education. While educational scholars have developed conceptual tools and offered data-informed recommendations for rooting out racism in campus policies and practices, this work is largely inaccessible to the public. At the same time, practitioners and policymakers are increasingly called on to implement quick solutions to what are, in fact, profound, structural problems. Racial Equity on College Campuses bridges this gap, marshaling the expertise of nineteen scholars and practitioners to translate research-based findings into actionable recommendations in three key areas: university leadership, teaching and learning, and student and campus life. The strategies gathered here will prove useful to institutional actors engaged in both real-time and long-term decision-making across contexts-from the classroom to the boardroom.
"Colleges and universities seeking to broaden the scope of their racial equity work and deepen its impact will find … Racial Equity on College Campuses to be [a] valuable resource." — Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning
"This well-researched book makes an important and timely contribution to scholarship on race and equality in the postsecondary context. The volume's forward-thinking qualitative approach positions it to make real contributions to both theory and practice." — Fred A. Bonner II, coeditor of Square Pegs and Round Holes: Alternative Approaches to Diverse College Student Development Theory
"As higher education leaders and educators seek to advance racial equity, this book effectively synthesizes research and provides concrete strategies and practices that are directly applicable to multiple institutional contexts and domains." — Marcela G. Cuellar, UC Davis School of Education
