| Publisher Description: The 'next phase' of diversity in higher education pushes institutional objectives beyond mere tolerance of cultural difference. Barnett and Felten have pulled together a timely resource for campus leaders that recognizes the multidimensionality of students' identities and the imperative for institutions to pursue an intersectional approach to diversity on campus.--anthony lising antonio, Associate Professor of Education, Stanford University Higher education silos diversity and inclusion by creating specific courses to address them, or programs to welcome and support people with a range of identities, whereas in reality students, faculty and staff do not encounter diversity in the fractured ways that match these organizational structures. This book offers models for institutions to move intentionally toward intersections to open doors to new possibilities that better prepare our students for life in a diverse world. |
