Produktbeschreibung

In recent decades, American universities have begun to tout the "diversity” of their faculty and student bodies. But what kinds of diversity are being championed, and what kinds are being neglected? Is diversity enough to solve the structural inequalities that plague our universities? And how might we articulate the value of diversity? Transforming the Academybegins to answer these questions.
