The diversity education literature, both nationally and
internationally, is broad and diffuse. Consequently, there needs to
be a systematic and logical way to organize and present the state
of research for students and professionals. American citizens need
to understand the dynamics of their increasingly diverse
communities and institutions and the global world in which we live,
work, and lead. With continually evolving information on diversity
policies, practices, and programs, it is important to have one
place where students, scholars, teachers, and policymakers can
examine and explore research, policy, and practice issues and find
answers to important questions about how diversity in U.S.
education enriched with theories, research and practices in other
nations are explained and communicated, and how they affect
institutional change at both the K-12 and postsecondary levels.
With about 700 signed entries with cross-references and
recommended readings, the "Encyclopedia of Diversity in Education"
(4 volumes, in both print and electronic formats) will present
research and statistics, case studies, and best practices,
policies, and programs at pre- and postsecondary levels. Diversity
is a worldwide phenomenon, and while most of the entries in the
"Encyclopedia" will focus on the United States, diversity issues
and developments in nations around the world, including the United
States, are intricately connected. Consequently, to illuminate the
many aspects of diversity, this volume will contain entries from
different nations in the world in order to illuminate the myriad
aspects of diversity. From A-to-Z, this Encyclopedia will cover the
full spectrum of diversity issues, including race, class, gender,
religion, language, exceptionality, and the global dimensions of
diversity as they relate to education. This four-volume reference
work will be the definitive reference for diversity issues in
education in the United States and the world.
