The 14 new essays in this collection come from underrepresented
faculty who teach at predominantly white colleges and universities.
This book discusses both the tenure and promotion experiences of
faculty of color and is not racial, ethnic, gender, cultural or
discipline specific. The book is thus not only for aspiring
graduate students of color and faculty of color desirous of outside
mentoring, but is also aimed toward administrators interested in
the professional development and dilemmas of faculty of color. As
they share their reflections and strategies firsthand, faculty of
color describe how they navigated the complex terrain of higher
education to achieve tenure or promotion. Most of the contributors
are at the associate professor stage of their careers and some hold
the rank of full professor. In their narratives they discuss their
personal identity, professional backgrounds, and life experiences
as they relate to their journeys through the tenure and promotion
process.
Through interviews with prominent legal academics such as Lani
Guinier and Kimberle Crenshaw, Outsiders Within presents the trials
and accomplishments of black women law professors who began to
enter the legal academy in the 1970s and 80s. The often-overlooked
legacies of these women are brought to light as chapters highlight
the work of important women like Jean Cahn, who co-founded Antioch
Law School in 1972, and Emma Coleman-Jordan, who founded the
Northeast Corridor Collective of black women law professors in
1988. Author Elwood Watson also discusses the scholarship of a
number of black women law professors who have written on the
intersection of race and gender, and employs their findings to
determine how the experiences of black women in the law academy
differ from those of black men and white men and women.
