With the goal of building more inclusive working, learning, and
living environments in higher education, this book seeks to reframe
understandings of forms of everyday exclusion that affect members
of nondominant groups on predominantly white college campuses. The
book contextualizes the need for a more robust analysis of
persistent patterns of campus inequality by addressing key trends
that have reshaped the landscape for diversity, including rapid
demographic change, reduced public spending on higher education,
and a polarized political climate. Specifically, it offers a
critique of contemporary analytical ideas such as micro-aggressions
and implicit and unconscious bias and underscores the impact of
consequential discriminatory events (or macro-aggressions) and
racial and gender-based inequalities (macro-inequities) on members
of nondominant groups. The authors draw extensively upon interview
studies and qualitative research findings to illustrate the
reproduction of social inequality through behavioral and
process-based outcomes in the higher education environment. They
identify a more powerful systemic framework and conceptual
vocabulary that can be used for meaningful change. In addition, the
book highlights coping and resistance strategies that have
regularly enabled members of nondominant groups to address,
deflect, and counteract everyday forms of exclusion. The book
offers concrete approaches, concepts, and tools that will enable
higher education leaders to identify, address, and counteract
persistent structural and behavioral barriers to inclusion. As
such, it shares a series of practical recommendations that will
assist presidents, provosts, executive officers, boards of
trustees, faculty, administrators, diversity officers, human
resource leaders, diversity taskforces, and researchers as they
seek to implement comprehensive strategies that result in sustained
diversity change.
