Extant research has focused on the barriers faced by minority faculty in academia. Despite outward notions of commitment to diversity, higher education institutions remain largely exclusive to anyone who does not prescribe to the 'ideal' faculty. Recently, more attention has been given to minority faculty who possess intersectional identities,…

This study examines whether the National Science Foundation's ADVANCE-IT grant program identifies and funds institutions that improve faculty gender equity. By using matching procedures and a two-way fixed-effect event study, we find that when universities received ADVANCE-IT grants, their proportion and headcount of women faculty as full-time…

Using Freire's idea of problem-posing for critical becoming, we unpack the dialogical relationships between teacher candidates and teacher educators striving to co-labor toward critical consciousness inside and outside a diversity course at a predominantly White university. Through qualitative measures, we attempt to illuminate how dialogical…

Academic research and knowledge production are frequently pervaded by elitism (Torres-Olave et al., 2019), epistemic exclusion (Dotson, 2014; Settles et al., 2020), and racialization (Ray, 2019; Thelin, 2019; Wilder, 2013). These discriminatory, exclusionary, and biased systems delegitimize the work of minoritized scholars, stifle innovation, and…

There is, a significant gender representation gap in higher education. Along similar lines are the aspect of hiring faculty that identify as female within an ethic minority group, despite the noted benefits of hiring a diverse faculty. Unfortunately, many studies on minority hiring do not differentiate between the two genders, as a result there is…

The purpose of this research study was to investigate how minority First-Year Writing (FYW)/Composition faculty in the United States theorize and bring the notion of linguistic justice into their teaching. In other words, this study sought to examine pedagogies/practices minority faculty use to incorporate linguistic justice in their…

The pre-tenure period for faculty members is often a professionally and personally challenging time. Mentorship and professional development programs serve as an important aid, providing needed support in their pursuit of a positive tenure decision. Institutional faculty mentorship programs often provide this important resource, though their…

Traditional research on the role of higher education in intergenerational mobility scrapes the surface of how complex institutional environments contribute to improved socioeconomic outcomes for students. Drawing from economics, sociology, and higher education research, this study interrogates the complexities of the relationship between students…

The author recently asked a colleague of color in higher education whether she has ever been encouraged to join committees that focus on drafting policies surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices or whether she has any interest in supporting such initiatives during her tenure as a student affairs professional. "I don't get…

Despite efforts to attract Black women in the professoriate, higher education has historically excluded marginalized populations, specifically Black women. This qualitative case study investigated the problem of insufficient representation of tenured Black women in the academy at Historically White Colleges and Universities (HWCUs). Additionally,…

The use of zero-hours contracts (ZHCs) has been associated with the transfer of risk away from corporate employers and towards individual employees. In universities increasing numbers of teaching staff are employed on such contracts. Academics from Black and minority ethnic backgrounds (BME) are disproportionately more likely to be employed on…

To increase the number of teachers of colour teaching science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in schools in the United States (US), teacher educators and preschool-to-higher education (P-20) teachers must engage with increasingly multicultural student populations through the practice of "culturally relevant education"…

The purpose of this article is to examine the role that cultural identity development plays in understanding cross-cultural mentoring encounters between White faculty and faculty of color. The authors apply a theory adaptation to present the components of a conceptual framework for developing mentoring approaches that consider a person's cultural…

Despite the racial, ethnic, linguistic, geographic, and cultural heterogeneity of LatinXs, extant educational research positions them as a monoracial, and oftentimes monolithic, group. Most research on LatinXs primarily focuses on mestizX-identified individuals. Inadvertently, the presence and experiences AfroLatinXs have largely been…
