Many challenges are faced by under-represented groups in academia.
Difficulties during the tenure process, prejudice stemming from
affirmative action and higher levels of scrutiny than their
colleagues are just a few tribulations experienced by faculty
members from minority groups that have gone unnoticed and often
ignored.The contributors of Diversity and Triumphs of Navigating
the Terrain of Academe share these narratives and tell of how
faculty navigate through situations such as microaggressions,
racism and sexism. By taking an anecdotal approach, this volume
captures the experiences of those who teach at institutions
dominated by white males in the United States and abroad. This book
is written as a treatise to dismantle the powers of discriminatory
incubuses that have haunted institutions of higher learning, one
narrative at a time. Some of these institutions are still making
history in hiring its first person of color within its departments.
Collectively, the contributors' experiences serve as
instrumentalities that work together to initiate dialogue among
current and future members of the professoriate, making this title
an invaluable text for researchers and higher education
administrators alike.
