Summary:

Incorporating case studies from a rich variety of colleges and universities throughout the nation, Doing Diversity in Higher Education examines the role faculty play in improving diversity on their campuses. The power of professors to enhance diversity has long been underestimated and their initiatives often hidden from view.

Winnifred R. Brown-Glaude and a stellar group of contributors uncover major themes and offer faculty and administrators a blueprint for addressing important issues facing higher education. Essays explore how to dismantle hostile microclimates, sustain and enhance accomplishments, deal with incomplete institutionalization, and collaborate with administrators. The contributors believe working on behalf of diversity should not be considered faculty "service," but rather a genuine intellectual project. This accomplished collection provides a wide array of models for institutional change.
