Racial Equity on College Campuses: Connecting Research and Practice

SUNY Series: Critical Race Studies in Education

by Royel M. Johnson (Editor), Uju Anya (Editor), Liliana M. Garces (Editor)

The current socio-political moment—rife with racial tensions and overt bigotry—has exacerbated longstanding racial inequities in higher education. While educational scholars have developed conceptual tools and offered data-informed recommendations for rooting out racism in campus policies and practices, this work is largely inaccessible to the public. At the same time, practitioners and policymakers are increasingly called on to implement quick solutions to what are, in fact, profound, structural problems. Racial Equity on College Campuses bridges this gap, marshaling the expertise of nineteen scholars and practitioners to translate research-based findings into actionable recommendations in three key university leadership, teaching and learning, and student and campus life. The strategies gathered here will prove useful to institutional actors engaged in both real-time and long-term decision-making across contexts—from the classroom to the boardroom.

[Valerie Sherman · Rating 3 out of 5]

Recommended for faculty in higher ed or high school; it is not written for staff or administrators and tears down a lot while offering few tips for practice.
