Author Biographies
DIVERSITY IN HIGHER EDUCATION both in the student body and the faculty is an idea much heralded in academia. But how do committed institutions, faculty, and staff plan for diversity, teach it, and find opportunities within courses to expand on the canon of their discipline? How can diversity issues be dealt with in a sensitive and yet exciting manner?
The contributors to this volume asked themselves those questions, joined together with like-minded colleagues, and met as a team--exploring their own experiences, sharing what their lives had taught them, and trying to make sense of difficult and sometimes conflicting ideologies. Together, the faculty and staff at Colorado State University created environment for each other to search, question, and then take their new awareness out into the greater community.
This is a compilation of their thoughts and struggles as they explored the complexities of a diverse world and institution. It is a search for ways in which identify is preserved and celebrated, a search that supports integrity for all.
This volume shares a portion of what they learned and shared. It can serve as a starting point for discussions on other campuses eager to move forward with diversity initiatives. (From the Publisher)
