Racialized Faculty Experiences in Predominantly White Higher Education Institutions (PWI) in North America

This book delves into the profound experiences of racialized faculty members at predominantly white higher education institutions (PWI) across North America. It sheds light on the challenges, struggles, and triumphs these individuals face as they navigate a predominantly white academic environment. Through in-depth interviews, surveys, and critical analysis, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of the experiences of racialized faculty, including their experiences in the classroom, research, and administrative roles.

The book's primary objective is to support racial justice for newer under-represented faculty members through the tenure process and beyond. It aims to empower these faculty members to thrive in their academic careers, overcome barriers to success, and contribute to the diversity and excellence of higher education institutions. The book recognizes the unique challenges faced by racialized faculty, such as discrimination, microaggressions, and lack of support from colleagues and administrators. It offers practical strategies and recommendations to address these challenges and promote equity and inclusion in the academic workplace.

Drawing on Critical Race Theory, critical feminist, and auto-ethnographic approaches, the book offers a multi-dimensional perspective on the experiences of racialized faculty. It explores the intersectionality of race, gender, class, and other identity factors that shape their experiences and examines how these experiences contribute to the broader discourse on race and education. The book also highlights the contributions of racialized faculty to the field of education, including their innovative research, teaching practices, and advocacy efforts.

The book is intended for a wide audience, including faculty members, administrators, doctoral students, and anyone interested in understanding the experiences of racialized faculty in higher education. It provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by these individuals and offers practical strategies for promoting equity and inclusion in the academic workplace. By highlighting the experiences of racialized faculty, this book contributes to the ongoing dialogue about race and education and serves as a call to action for institutions to prioritize the well-being and success of all faculty members.
