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 Academy begins 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.
Yet Transforming the Academy also offers a wide range
of perspectives on how to best achieve these goals, a diversity of
opinion that is sure to inspire lively debate.
