It offers contemporary views and critiques ideas and practices such as micro-aggressions, implicit and explicit bias, and their consequences in reifying racial and gender-based inequalities. It also highlights coping mechanisms and resistance strategies that have enabled members of nondominant groups to contest primarily racial- and gender-based inequity, identifying new ways higher education can do what it professes to do better. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 261 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 08 December 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Springer International Publishing AG\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis edited volume delves into the potential of higher education beyond its initial purpose, examining and challenging persistent patterns of campus inequality driven by rapid demographic change, reduced public spending in higher education, and an increasingly polarized political landscape. It offers contemporary perspectives and critiques of concepts such as micro-aggressions, implicit and explicit bias, and their impact on perpetuating racial and gender-based inequalities among members of non-dominant groups. Additionally, the book highlights coping mechanisms and resistance strategies employed by members of non-dominant groups to challenge primarily racial- and gender-based inequity. By doing so, it identifies innovative ways in which higher education can enhance its effectiveness in providing real benefits to students and communities while also setting a benchmark for society to more effectively fulfill its stated purpose and creed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783031111266\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2023\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":45822598971642,"sku":"9783031111266","price":116.61,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1714156707770_book.jpg?v=1714421532","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/emancipatory-change-in-us-higher-education-9783031111266","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
