Recent research suggests that Black and minority ethnic (BME)
academics remain underrepresented, particularly at senior levels in
higher education, and tend to be concentrated in new, post-1992
universities. This book provides an original comparative study of
BME academics in both the UK and the USA, two different yet similar
cultural and political climates, considering issues of inequality,
difference and identity in the Academy. Presenting a distinctive
and engaging voice, the book discusses the complexity of race,
gender and identity in the context of higher education, an area
that continues to appear to be dominated by white, middle class
values and perspectives. Chapters offer an up-to-date commentary on
the purpose, failures and potential of research on race, gender and
identity, and its place within contemporary education and
sociology. The book broadens the understanding of educational
research, considering both sociological and cultural discourse, as
well as examining racialized and gendered identities from a
theoretical and analytical standpoint. The book closes by offering
suggestions for viable policy shifts in this area. The Experiences
of Black and Minority Ethnic Academics will be of key interest to
researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the field of
education, as well as sociologists wanting to learn more about
black and minority academics in higher education.
