The Challenges of Minoritized Faculty in Higher Education offers a
probing and unvarnished look at the employment challenges of these
faculty members in four-year institutions. With dramatic shifts in
the faculty workforce and nearly three-quarters of instructional
positions in United States institutions now off the tenure track,
contingent faculty have become the essential, frontline workers of
higher education. Remarkably little research attention has focused
on the experiences of minoritized contingent faculty in this new
academic underclass. Based on in-depth interviews coupled with
extensive research, the book highlights the double marginalization
that can occur due to secondary employment status in the academic
hierarchy, and the exclusion resulting from the intersectionality
of nondominant social identities including race and ethnicity,
gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability. As the
first-person narratives reveal, these faculty often struggle for
acceptance, recognition, and rewards in the day-to-day academic
environment, and they can face devaluation of their contributions.
As a pragmatic and concrete resource, this book offers proactive
workforce strategies and key structural and policy recommendations
that will assist academic and administrative leaders, including
presidents, provosts, department chairs, and chief diversity
officers, in building more inclusive working conditions for
contingent faculty.
