In education, sorting students according to attainment is common.
Such sorting clearly sets up the potential for exclusion, based on
the attainment ideals and on the modes of selection. Ideals of
inclusion suggest diversity, and those of equity, by reference to
impartiality, suggest freedom from bias. Honors education, which
celebrates excellence, and references "honor" and all that word and
concept infers, heightens and promotes the principled recognition
of attainment, giving rise to questions of diversity, equity and
inclusion. The Organization for Economic Co-Operation and
Development (OECD), in its Ten Steps to Equity in Education, notes
that inclusion is intertwined with fairness. How can honors
education-and in the case of the discussions in this book, largely
honors in US higher education-promote fairness, be diverse, and
support equity? If it does not do so, how can it at all claim to be
offering a principled version of what the National Collegiate
Honors Council (USA) says are "opportunities for measurably
broader, deeper, and more complex learning-centered and
learner-directed experiences for its students"?In 2015, the
National Society for Minorities in Honors (www.nsfmih.org) was
launched in the USA to specifically explore, support and promote
diversity, equity and inclusion in and across honors colleges and
programs. The first annual NSFMIH conference was held at Oakland
University, Michigan. This book began at that inaugural conference,
and has been enhanced by enthusiastic contributions beyond that
event as well.
