In recent decades, American universities have begun to tout the
""""diversity"""" of their faculty and student bodies. But what
kinds of diversity are being championed in their admissions and
hiring practices, and what kinds are being neglected? Is diversity
enough to solve the structural inequalities that plague our
universities? And how might we articulate the value of diversity in
the first place? Transforming the Academybegins to answer these
questions by bringing together a mix of faculty - male and female,
cisgender and queer, immigrant and native-born, tenured and
contingent, white, black, multiracial, and other - from public and
private universities across the United States. Whether describing
contentious power dynamics within their classrooms or recounting
protests that occurred on their campuses, the book's contributors
offer bracingly honest inside accounts of both the conflicts and
the learning experiences that can emerge from being a
representative of diversity. The collection's authors are united by
their commitment to an ideal of the American university as an
inclusive and transformative space, one where students from all
backgrounds can simultaneously feel intellectually challenged and
personally supported. YetTransforming the Academyalso offers a wide
range of perspectives on how to best achieve these goals, a
diversity of opinion that is sure to inspire lively debate.
