Centering on the narratives of ethnically and racially diverse scholars of color with experience studying and working in predominantly White institutions in the United States, this comprehensive volume provides a critical examination of prevalent assumptions, policies, and practices that hinder or restrict racial diversity and inclusion in various educational contexts and settings. Scholars at various stages of their careers, hailing from diverse sociocultural backgrounds, offer insightful critiques of contemporary experiences of disproportionality, mis/labeling, and exploitation, among others. By exploring both personal and professional ramifications of these lived inequalities, the candid insights of racialized challenges and imbalances are interconnected with the schooling experiences of minoritized K–12 learners and their families. This book proposes innovative solutions to foster equitable and inclusive environments for faculty and scholars from racialized backgrounds in higher education, with a particular emphasis on universities offering education programs.

Students, scholars, and researchers across a wide range of fields, including Educational Leadership, Ethnic Studies, Teacher Education, and Higher Education, can greatly benefit from the discussions presented in this work.
