In Beyond Retention: Cultivating Spaces of Equity, Fairness, and
Justice for Women of Color in U.S. Higher Education, Brenda Marina
and Sabrina N. Ross address the continued underrepresentation of
women faculty of color at predominantly White colleges and
universities through a creative convergence of scholarship focused
on intellectual activism and structural change. Inspired by the
African American oral tradition of call and response, this text
illuminates the calls, or personal narratives of women faculty of
color who identify racialized, gendered, sexualized, and
class-based challenges associated with work in predominantly White
institutions. Accounts of social justice-oriented strategies,
policies, and practices that support women faculty of color and
reflections by women of color who are senior faculty members serve
as literal and metaphorical responses. The convergence of calls for
social justice and equity-minded responses and reflections in this
text provide intellectual foundations for the development of higher
education spaces where women faculty of color can thrive. Beyond
Retention is a critical geographic project intended to identify and
mitigate structures of oppression that act as barriers to the full
incorporation of women of color in predominantly White academic
contexts. This text will be of interest to scholars interested in
curriculum topics of race, gender, sexuality, and place. The text
offers strategies for coping and success for women of color in
doctoral programs, faculty positions, and mid-level administration
positions within the academy; as such, Beyond Retention will be a
valuable addition to the reading libraries of each of these groups.
Men and women with interests in the experiences of educators of
color within predominantly White contexts will also gain valuable
insights from this book, as will individuals interested in various
areas of women studies, multicultural education, and diversity.
Beyond Retention also provides accounts of practices and policies
that have been successful in supporting the needs of women faculty
of color; knowledge gained from this text will be useful for higher
education administrators seeking to improve the campus climate for
faculty of color. Additionally, human resource directors, equal
opportunity specialists and diversity trainers will find this text
helpful when considering strategies for managing diversity.
